Elegant, simple, beautiful.  ;)
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

Nice bow, good looking tiller.
I love the braced shot on the post lovely curve.
Tad short for an ELB, but then 27" is a shortish draw.
How has is turned out for set? The Yew looks fairly coarse grained, just wondered if it took more than an inch?
I'm not convinced that colour or rings per inch is as much as a guid as some would have us believe, so I'd be interested to know.
Shoots pretty smooth I expect?
