Thanks for the kind words guys

No doubt I make alot of yew recurves, its my favourite style to make with the wood I have at my disposal

Academonicon- I like to build up cork on the back for how it feels in the hand. On some flatter handle bendys I'll build up the belly a bit too.
I measure draw length to the back of the bow, and that measurement doesnt really change no matter how I pad the handle.
