  This's is the first bow I've posted on PA. It's a Pacific Yew Recurve 40# @25". The bow is 64 inches long and about 1 1/4 inch wide at the widest. I got the great stave from WizardGoat.

The bow and tiller look great! I have had trouble with walnut overlays being somewhat soft. In the future you might consider using something harder.

Yes it does seem a little soft. I used Osage on my last yew but I don't like how it looks.
