Beautiful work. Can't get tired of the sap/heartwood contrast.

Very nice! I really like the grain shown in the handle, good you didn't wrap it. To inlay the strike plates, just shows your passion for perfectionism!
Love it, thanks for showing us your work!

You’ve really done right by that yew. Your ornate work is really beautiful but to me nothing makes the wood look better than a naked bow

Sweet looking yew bow Weylin.Some time ago I made an ambidestrious bow out of osage.It stayed in a traditional bow shop and leftys and rightys shot it to their content.Think it's still there as the owner of shop won't sell it.

A gorgeous bow from a great piece of yew.  I too love the contrast between the sap wood and the heart wood.  Another great bow ... keep them coming.  Thanks.
