Jesse, that is some really nice work you have done there. Very nice work with that yew. You are right about yew settling in a bit. Keep up the great work!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

It looks really nice. I really like the look of that Yew. If you try for BOM, can you post some FD pictures with the bow straight up and down?  It is a little difficult to judge the tiller with it tilted.

thank you guys SO much for all the compliments! I've never went out for a bowl of the month before that's the only reason I was asking you guys I've never even submitted a picture so I don't even know how to but if its a pain in the butt to do I'm really not that worried about it anyways but thank you guys SO much for all of the compliments and I will try to get a post up here or should I say a picture up today of this Bo that is a straight on shot of me pulling it to full draw I had my 8 year old daughter taking those pictures and number one I tend to tilt the bow when I shoot it and number 2 she is much shorter than me so she was taking all the pictures up at an angle anyways as always thank you guys SO much for showing all the support and love and have a good time making bows my friends

Looks like a sweet shooter.  If you can hit groups like that with it then it's a keeper in my book.
