Wow. I didn't  expect this much interest. I guess I'm  committed 

Peacefullymadewarbows, I  know where your stave is. Unfortunately,  I left it in the woods  this fall. Someone cut a fir, which hung up on a maple, so they cut that too. When it came down it stripped the top and some branches of a yew. I took two shorter limbs that were DC's style, but left a long one that wasn't  straight enough or wriggly enough..., so if you make it to Union Bay, BC...
