Long time lurker, first time poster....Its not my first bow though;-).
Mostly sapwood and not the best quality yew, but I use what I can get. As the topic says its drawing about 60# (this will settle at alittle less with time) at 28". There is alot of minor transverse cracks in the knots on the back which might prove fatefull, but it shoots excellent now. The nocks are from a piece of turkish walnut my father had left after a costum rifle stock job...sounds fancy...but its not really, the pieces are too small for that.
Its heat treated, but still took 1 inch of set...I blame the natural deflex which I straightened with dryheat. I cant really judge the tiller (I go tiller blind for weeks after I finish my projects)...but I dont think its off by much.
Anyway, here it is:
And at draw (sorry about the underwear;-):
Thats about as much information as two pictures can carry;-)
Cheers
