Sweet take-down, Bryce. She's got a really nice bend. I like those tips, too!!
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Very Classy.  8) I can't wait to see it in person.  You sure did make quick work of those billets.  Well done.

You know, that is one sweet bow! Not sure when I will get a hold of yew in any quantity but I look forward to that day mostly because you make it look so very nice!

Nice bow Brycey boy! I bet the yew feels good with the extra weight added by the sleeves. Yellow wood can get heavy.
