Pacific Yew Longbow 68", 58#@30"
« on: February 26, 2020, 06:52:32 pm »
This was a nice clean piece of Oregon yew with a straight forward design and not too much distracting extras. The bow is 68" nock to nock and it pulls 58@@30".  The shooter said he shoots left handed sometimes too so I decided to do some ambidexterous strike plates. I inlaid the beaver tail so it stood just a little proud but didn't feel tacked on. The tip overlays are buffalo horn, the finish is tru oil.

One of these days I want to get my hands on some yew.  That color contrast is beautiful.

Great bow Weylin.  The contrast of the yew along with the black overlays and strike plates really adds to that bow.  Very nice work.
