Finished oregon yew bow, tiller check. 70+@30"

[Ruddy Darter]

https://youtu.be/j_dIYBMFjHg just finished this bow 73"&1/4"ntn. It came out a lot lighter than I wanted but I quite like it. It was started and left unfinished quite some time ago and I thought I'd finish it up. (The tiller is not perfect but hopefully good enough as I don't want to lose anymore weight).Last coat of oil on this morning and going to try the bow out over the weekend, hopefully a fun target bow. (It has some deflex in the top limb which was in the stave.) it will draw to 32"

Looks pretty good to me for a waggly stave
I think the window in the garage door doesn't help as it appears from the pic to not be an true arc!

Thanks Del, yep the window throws it and my tiller tree is wonky and moves around (I'll have to sort that for the next heavier bow attempt), it throws it more with this short 73" length, with a longer stave, say 76"+, the window acts as a pretty good rough guide when it's lined up right and camera set up a bit higher,
I was going to give up with this one but glad I finished it up to have a bit of fun with.

I'd leave it as is. Great job! Looks like it'll spit em fast with that flat profile at rest.

Thank you peacefullymadebows,
It does have a nice springy tension to the bow.

Very nice, way to heavy for me. Don't know how you guys do it.

[Ruddy Darter]

Thanks D.C.
I'm looking forward to starting another bow in the near future.

Nice!  Some dark panels for the Windows and there you have a perfect arc for a tillering guide - maybe!   !  Good job, too heavy for me, though

Thanks Hawkdancer, 
The bow performed nice last Sunday although the arrows were too heavy and overspined, just making up some more suitable arrows, be a real joy then I reckon.
