Beautiful work and glad to see yew finished this one...Is this going to be your hunting bow this fall? Yew is on my bucket list, never touched a piece.

Great job pappy.  I've been wondering when I would get to see that puppy all finished up. Looks awesome.  I bet it's a joy to shoot.

That looks like a sweet shooter there Pappy!  I haven't tried a yew bow yet.  Do you see why it has so many fans now that you have built one of your own outta yew?

Looks like a good one Pappy. I like that sapwood back with the knots and streaks, pretty refined profile yet you kept it primitive looking through and through. I like that one. :)
 See ya in two weeks, man am I looking forward to getting down there again.
