Yew. 42@28"
« on: December 21, 2015, 12:17:02 pm »
Hello,
I want to present you one of my last bows I have build. It is 67 inch long and shoots very nice. As I am not very good at expressing myself in english, I will let the pictures talk  ;)

Your photos speak very well for you.   I rather like how the story ends, with a beautiful bow loaded with sexy curves!

I m glad you like it  :)
It was a good deal of work to get to the final growth-ring (because of the waves), but it was worth the efford.
I forgot to mention, the bow weighs  15.06oz / 427g (which unit do you use?)
