Well done Hammer, thats a good looking stick and the way that baby bends is a thing of beauty.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Nice bow! Don't you just love working with yew! Yew has become my favorite bow wood, and I never worked a piece till June! I'm on fifth now and have staves for several more on the drying rack .I'm fortunate to live here in the Pacific Northwest where it grows in relatve abundance. To bad for you poor guys who only that yellow stuff to work with!  >:D
