Yew Longbow
« on: May 27, 2014, 10:13:17 pm »
This one's for a friend of mine who bought the stave and brought it over so we could build it. The same guy as the one I built this bow for:
https://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php?topic=39292.0
It's Pacific Yew, 71" long, 50 lbs @ 28". Jatoba Tip overlays. I'm really happy with how it turned out, with the low set, and it really spits an arrow wicked fast. I left some of the cambium on the back, just because I like how that looks.
the full draw looks a bit wonky because of my habit of canting the bow
