finally Got around to putting leather on this one.
ive have the yew slats for a few years and finally figured out what to do with them.
this was a fun bow to make :) the rain has forced me to take inside pics:(

Are Yew bows inherently classy or is it the bowyers that work with yew?

Either way, cool bow and cool hat.

Man Pineconer your turning out some stellar bows, real beauties and I have to say I'm a big fan of your work. This bow has a lot of flair and style, nicely crafted. Did the elk leather handle come from your past fall selfbow and stone point kill?
