Yew Flatbow
« on: November 29, 2015, 04:53:32 pm »
Hello ,
I want to show you another bow, i've made recently.
It' s a yew flatbow, 62" long, from 1,33" to 0,27" wide and she pulls 50#.
It was not a very easy stave because of the pinknots. The stick was about 2,2" thick
and had tide rings.
She draws very smooth and  the arrows come out very fast I think.

I hope you like it.

Greetings from Bavaria
Peter
