This stick of yew was a gift from the bow god's for sure. The wood does all the talking on this one. :-X I just wish we had daylight and sun for better pics.
64" ntn - natural deflex - added reflex
Heavy 55# @ 28
Finished with 2 coats shellac, 4 coats of tung oil and 2-3 coats of Johnsons paste wax.

oh sexy curves there pealry... waiting to see more
-
And smore's
-
Cha-Ching...the bow is canted toward the camera about 10-15 degrees.
-
Man now that's a pretty bow!!
Hopefully one of these days I can come up with some yew to build a bow out of
-
Wow your really knocking those yew bows out of the park....great looking, smooth, elegant handle.... you don't dare add a wrap :) ;)
DBar
-
She is a beauty, like the arrow shelf kind of partial to them myself.
-
Thats a beauty! Those are some sweet shooters.
-
Dude , ur work is so inspirational, what an incredible bow
-
Wow... This is probably the coolest bow I've ever seen. (absolutely no offense to any of the other unbelievably skilled bowyers here). That thing just appeals to my taste in every way. I don't have words to describe it, but that right there is the primitive weapon I dream about! Perfectly done. Awesome. I hope to see this bow in the BOM. Dang man... Nice work.
-
smooth n sexy!!!! :D 8)
-
Lovely looking bow and all in 1 piece :)
-
Chris beautiful piece of wood turned to a beautiful bow.
Gotta love that yew
-
Beautiful - well done!
-
WOW - just WOW! The grain in that wood is so pretty! Love it much. So, ...have determined that yew is a bit better than ERC? O:) ;D ;)

Boy, That slicked up nice Chris. That handle is stunning with the finish on it and I bet the pics dont even do it justice.
-
Bud, that's truly lovely. CONGRATS!!
-
Man thats like manna from heaven pearls, sweet and pure up to the full draw and then sexy as hell
-
I have a lump in my throat.
-
I'm trying to get Carson to trade me a character yew for a couple Osage staves. Hoping it comes out half as nice as this one. Very smooth.
-
A tear just fell from my eye. What do I need to do to get that bow from you Chris?
-
I bet it was hard to stop taking pictures of that one. Quite a beauty.
-
Super cool Chris. I'm with D Bar, you better never put a wrap on that thing.
-
Another great looking bow Chris. I like how you do your handles.
-
Lovely looking bow and all in 1 piece :)
A real funny guy Marc! This is the good juniperus.
-
Super cool Chris. I'm with D Bar, you better never put a wrap on that thing.
Nope. There wont be any permanent handle on it Jon, Bill. HOWEVER, I am a hunter first and foremost and build bows for that singular reason. If it doesn't work with gloves or when damp. Ill use a rubber roll on grip temporarily. If I had any skills at all, I would have gnurled or stippled the grip. I couldn't get myself to risk anything on this wood, it was too pretty to chance.
-
A tear just fell from my eye. What do I need to do to get that bow from you Chris?
Lets see: 50 good to premium yew staves, or maybe a new 2015 Ram 1500 Bighorn with the eco diesel! Yah, Ill take the truck!
-
Man Chris that sucker is polished and pretty, drop dead gorgeous actually.
I know its a nice shooter too guys since I was lucky enough to send a few arrows out of it over at Paul's place a few weeks ago just after Chris finished tillering her.
-
Correcto McGregor. Did you notice I added a bunch more tip reflex? I bet I added 2" after we parted...:)
-
BB,
You've got all the luck :( ;)
Chris,
I've see some checkering done on handles that look great. Ever thought about checkering?
-
You can shoot it all you want this spring, buck a shot..;)
I don't have those skills Bill. I just carve out bows. Heck even my leather grips are nasty.
-
What would you do if I was a multi millionaire and actually went and bought you that truck Chris?
-
That is just a classic beauty of a bow. No skins needed on that baby. You are really putting out some gorgeous yew bows Pearly.
-
Very nice PD !
-
What would you do if I was a multi millionaire and actually went and bought you that truck Chris?
Give you the bow, and a dozen new arrows to match. Im a hunter, its a weapon to me, a pretty one albeit. But I can always make more deer killers, or pick one of many friends made me. Ill NEVER afford a new truck!
-
Man thats like manna from heaven pearls, sweet and pure up to the full draw and then sexy as hell
Not lying one bit bub, that's the first time I seen it drawn. I tiller to 18" max on a stick in my vice. Then remove weight and gain draw simultaneously until I'm comfy. Weight never gets measured. Just an educated guess. I pulled this to 20" at Pauly's. But added a ton of reflex when I got home and had to tweak the tiller and weight all over again. It was worth it.
-
Dam, my man!!!
That bow is mesmerizing!!
-
I will never afford a new truck either Pearl, but it suee is nice to dream :d
-
Turned out awesome! Well done sir, well done.

Awesome looking bow, really clean PD, and beautiful curves

Holy 2 tone batman! But seriously, an amazing bow with an amazing piece of wood!

Curve-a-licious........that's a sweet one. I like the sharp contrast of the tip overlays too. Well done indeed!
-
Thats a beauty PD!
-
Nice one Pearlie my son! I was wondering when I was going to get to see this one all finished up. Lovely bends.
-
Pure Sweetness!... Brian

Sexy it is for sure, Yew nailed it Bud ! Bobbert

Wow! That's some beautiful wood and beautiful work to match.
-
Wow that's so beautiful. You know how to tiller a bow that's for sure !! :D
-
That's a beauty for sure, very nice. :)
Pappy
-
WOW and WOW. Talking about letting the wood design the bow, Pearly, you just put on a clinic. Judging from the roughed in stave, that bow screamed "make me a r/d bow". And you made her proud. Excellent work.
-
Great bow, love such a all in one bow!
Michael
-
turned out very nice chris but don't be afraid to pull it all the way back. If it blows it wasn't meant to be. 28 or bust >:D
-
Well I can afford the truck but I'll never be able to make a bow that looks as good as that. As for snow angel it might as well be as that was sent from the gods. Well done PD.
-
Thanks for the words all. This was a stick of wood any ol' fool could make look good!
-
Beautiful lines Chris. I bet that is one sweet shooter.
-
Gorgeous! That handle is sublime.
-
It looks better every time I see it!
Ok now, that the hero pics are outta the way, let's go stomp some brush and chase bunnies! ;D
-
That thing is beautiful pearly!
-
How do you top that? Time to retire as a bowyer.
-
Thanks for the words all. This was a stick of wood any ol' fool could make look good!
one lucky fool you are! ;D
-
That bow is another jaw dropping wow. You really do make bows (every one) with perfect tillers. Great handle design, it really shows off the color of the wood.
-
It appears your reputation has been firmly re-established, after the ERC disaster, buddy! ;) ;D
-
That bow reminds me of...
-
Yummmmm-E!
-
Very nice work, Pearly boy.... You do know how to make a bow huh?:)

Killer job on that one!top self all around!

That bow reminds me of...
Yes I agree. .
-
Whos the babe?
Ee gads man thats Raquel Welch in 1,000,000 b.c.
-
I have no concept of a more beautiful bow. I guess every bowyer has his own signature.
Sleek!! Don't you know Raquel Welch? Your giving away your age LOL ;D!
-
Im 31 man, what do you want? I wasnt alive in 1,000,000 BC!
-
She was ok, I guess:)

Wow. It doesn't get better than that! AWESOME!

Love the curves!

That is a fine yew bow. Glad you spent the extra time to put that extra curve in. I bet that girl just humms.

Thanks Carson, it zings a mean arrow for sure. Guess who kept the reflexed half for himself?.......................Yup, you guessed it!
-
Been busy a few days and just saw this, Pearl. Sweet lookin bow, man. :)
-
Dang Chris, that's a beauty. Good little tree stand bow right there.
-
Pearly strikes again! Man that's a beauty, and that profile :o
-
Wow!!! The tips, the curves, the grip, the contrast between the sapwood and heartwood......,they all come together to make a lethal work of art.
Well done my friend! Now the next picture I want to see is that bow laying next to a muley or an elk!! Well even a bunny :)
I hope to get a chance to fling arrow through it the spring at Marshall
-
Thanks guys, and you know full well you can fire all the rounds you want from it in Marshall, or wherever I run into you!

Nice work, Chris! I like the full draw profile. You never disappoint.

I'm glad you did that piece of wood justice:)
Glad it landed in your hands!

Thanks Carson, it zings a mean arrow for sure. Guess who kept the reflexed half for himself?.......................Yup, you guessed it!
