Title: Wiggly Yew
Post by: DC on October 17, 2015, 03:13:44 pm
This is the snakey stave I posted earlier. It's from almost sister billets. 68" NTN. I left it a bit long cause I was chicken. 39#@27.5". Bloodwood tips. Chew hoof arrow pass. It's only had 100 or so shots. Seems to shoot nice. I'm really pleased with it and that it didn't break.

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it. Never thought I'd be accused of being a good photographer. I think the fall colors make it work.

Great job, man! I love that character. I'm working on a very similar piece right now. A headache to tiller.
