I finished this one a couple days ago for someone on the west coast. It's 64" long with 1 3/8" wide shallow D section limbs with 3/8" wide nocks. I glued in some 4" of reflex and she's kept just over 1". She pulls just over 60# @ 28". The ring count on the Yew is fairly low but the density is fairly high. It was clean wood except for a small knot near one recurve. I shot it some using a 700 grain arrow and it's fast. Here's a couple pics

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Thanks guys
This design is a power house of energy. If it would have been strictly a hunting bow I would have made it a bit shorter but the fellow wants to do some target shooting as well

Nice one Marc.
adb Bamboo bends readily with a heat gun. Not sure if that's what Marc does of course.
