Thanks Cody.  I would have thought you would have several yew stave bows under your belt by now.

Clint,
Real nice bow - I just hope my first comes out shoot able, or at least "look able".  What type wood are the arrow shafts?  If'n yer making bows, ye cain't be shooting' ,em without arrows, so ye might as well be making' some arrow,too :)!

Thanks guys! 

Hawkdancer, the shafts are about 90% hill cane with a few tonkin and what I think is switch cane mixed in.  I should be done with them this weekend.  I'll post them in the arrow section.

Clint,
Very nice bow, the water snake skins are very cool but the whole combination of the skins, the tips and the creamy color of the yew combine to make a really attractive bow.
