I can't even imagine it as a bow. I couldn't pull 120# with a winch!! Beautiful thing. Some bigger pictures would be nice if possible.

Thanks for the nice greeting.  :)

One thing: my english is not the best, but i will give my best to write clear and understandable.

So yes, usually you can click on the pictures to see a larger version. The one or the other will know me ...and my bows.

If you are interested, I can still show some.  ;)

Michael, if it's not too much trouble, please post pics of Heimdallr at some point - it's my personal favourite of your bows!

Michael, in all the years I have been coming here, no one has ever complained about too many photos of bows!  Don't worry about making a few grammatical errors, most of us speak "American" and butcher the Queen's English anyway!

Welcome!

Brilliant warbow! The yew is very pretty too, with good contrast.

But when will this "alpine yew" stop? ;D  Alpine basically means above the tree line, so it is kind of silly calling any tree alpine... ;)

In the Canton of Valais you can find yew up to 1600meter NN, in the bavarian alps up to 1350meter NN (“meters above standard zero”). That is, what alpine yew says.  ;)
