Yew, 85lbs@28"
« on: August 11, 2017, 04:10:41 pm »
Hello,
this is a yew bow I finished a few month ago. The bow is 67"/170cm long and weights only 498g. There was a delamination of a heartwood ring which resulted in a hollow limb profil at the handle.
There is just a picture of the bow on the tiller-tree since I still cant shoot it properly  ::)
Hope you like it!

  Beautiful job. Good yew really shines on these longbows. Very low mass but didn't take set. Good job.
