I've never put a tool to a piece of yew, so not me either! :). How much did that bow set him back?

Good save!

Nice rework! Turned out great.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
