  Beautiful as usual. I also watched your videos, very concise and informative. I will be taking the bow you sent me to Mojam for the broadhead flight shoot. I think it will do well.

That's a Dandy one, Weylin, simply stunning.

I love the way the limbs transition out to the tips. Great weight you got out of that one as well. Congrats!  (-S

Thank you for the kind words and support. You guys are great! Those of you interested in my channel just search for Swiftwoodbows on youtube. I want to respect PA's rules and not post a link.

Bayou Ben, you'll have to forgive me for my full draw picture. I forgot my finger tab and I'm a lefty so I was working a bit to get it back comfortably.  ;D

PaSteve, I'm glad you are following along with the videos. Sorry the handle wrap wasn't in there. I will get around to that video at some point.

Thanks, Bubby. yeah, those copperhead skins sure were easy to work with

It's an awesome bow. The handle wrap, the tiller, the skins... everything. Simply beautiful.

Very nice bow.  Hard to believe it's only 62" long

Sweet bow, Weylin!  I have a Pacific yew stave I've been looking at for a couple of years now wondering how to go about getting a bow out of it.  I've already watched some of your YouTube (YewTube :P) videos and I might just go about the stave the way you do it on your video series (especially since I want it to be a stiff handled recurve).  I even have a nice set of WDB skins I'm going to put on it, but while that combination looks good, the copperhead/yew combo is superb!  If I do get around to building the bow along with your videos, I'll be sure to post it here!
