Is there a bow inside of this?
« on: March 03, 2020, 08:03:02 am »
I found a huge yew tree this morning but it wasnt mine.. , Lets say i helped the city gardners pruning it  :-[
Not sure if there is a bow in it but i always Read u need small amount of yew to make a bow..
 
Its 2 inch at the small end and 3 at the thick end, it has some side bends and twist in it and also 2 big branches at the smaller half of the branch. Its roughly measured  55 inch

I’d have to leave the advice for a Yew expert. I’m pretty sure I’d have to give it a try though.
I’d probably look at it for awhile first though

I only tried yew once, a beautifull straight 2 OR 3 inch  branch, longer than i am.. did let it dry for one year and reduced it .. within 2 days full of checks so for sure imma wait long with the rest of my yew
