Here's my first attempt at oil painting.  Not so good but I'll keep doing it till I can send out something great.

Add a canoe with a Indian in it that would be sweet. Great job!

That's Bob Ross quality right there Tim. I can see from Michigan that those are happy clouds!

Great work for a first or tenth.

Tim,
don't sell yourself short, you did a very nice job.
I like the painting also and I'd hang it on my wall!

Who would make an elb out of a nice long yew stave? Or would you rather have a shorter stave? Just don't wanna send a 7 foot stave that will be cut down. Cheers- Brendan

If you sent me 7' of yew with the stipulation that it should become an  English long bow, then I would accept that challenge, sir!

Of course, if you send a shorter yew stave, I would be equally thrilled. I got to make a yew bow this summer, and it was really hard to give away.

I got some time in the shop last night. Antler, Maple, Osage and Purple Heart were involved.

Of the yew I have used, I have kept all the length. If I had a 72" stave there is no question I would use 72" of it, or dang close to 72".

I've got a good start on my project. Had to put it on the back burner to make a set of arrows I traded for two fresh hams, a leg of lamb and a rack of lamb ribs though.  :) Not sure I like lamb though. I'm more of a goat guy. Back on my exchange project though.

I like yew. Don't get a chance to work with much so I'd probably use all that was available.
