really cool. Im not a big fan of the "english bow" but this is a beauty. You did something unique with this one. Good bend, nice design and finish! And nice and thick sap wood.

Beautiful yew bow with interesting nock overlays and a very nice bend.   :OK
 That's a heck of a piston rod next to the bow. Must have come from a big engine.
