WOW! That's quite a bow from a couple of old pieces of yew firewood. Nicely done, Christopher!

Looks like somebody got a haircut and still has a bit of a tan from fishin' down in the keys, huh?

That's another great looking bow PD.  Those skins really set it off.

I always keep it high and tight Adam, military kid. I kept covered right up down there fishing. I wear fishing pants and long shirts with a big brimmed hat. That sun scares me! I have lily white German skin!

That turned out nice!  Your definitely making that sinew earn its keep!  Ol Hippy sure has some cool stuff stashed away.  I gotta primo piece of BL from him last year that is positively ancient.  Josh

I don't have enough yew experience to know what each darkness level means, but these suckers were dark when I started. And, truth be told that sinew acts like it wants 28". I can feel her asking for more. Im tempted to give her want she really wants.

Man that is a nice bow Chris! The tiller is so mesmerizing that I can't even remember what the rest of it looks like.

Well then I guess I'll have a chance shooting against you on the range, I'll bring one of my crappy shooting bows along, shouldn't be hard to find one, got a few of em'.
