Title: Lighweight Sinew/Yew Bow with art
Post by: NorthHeart on July 14, 2020, 11:50:39 pm

Completed a sinew backed edge grain Yew bow(my first edge grain bow ever).  Holds nice reflex when unbraced. Didn't have much wood to work with from the beginning, basically tuned a piece of scrap into a bow:)  Chose not to tiller it any further for fear of loosing draw weight.  A snappy lightweight shooter perfect for lady’s or youth bow. Pulls to 25”, rated 24# @ 24”.  48" OAL.

Say, that looks pretty darn good. Your form is on point too. Good job on going from scrap to bow.

Great looking short bow!  I really like the bend and the pattern and color on the sinew back. Very nice bow!

Looks nice, interesting finish work.  I just got my nephews shooting bows I recently finished.  Hope that one can find a young person, also.
