Great looking bow Chris. I am working a yew bow now that will be getting sinew and was wondering how wide to make it. I have it floor tillered and the heartwood looks like it will be thinner than I would like. Mine is wider than your 1 1/4, so I think I will make mine a bit skinnier and that should help.  Or maybe remove some sapwood since I will be putting sinew on anyway?

Im no yew expert Bob, but Id suggest ridding the bow of all, or nearly all of the sapwood if you feel you can. It doesn't do anything beneficial once the sinew is laid.
