You will notice what looks like a hinge about a foot down from the upper tip. That is a hoop-te-doo. There is another one on the other side but about an inch above that one looks the same from the other side but the bow doesn't hinge there.....anymore!  ;D

John, I haven't worked much yew but this is as good as any from what I can tell. The knots and bumps just add to the excitement. ;D I got this yew from Old Bow and he uses Montana yew quite a bit. After riding his bike for tens of miles to haul a log back home, I guarantee he uses most he gets. ;)   Pat

Thanks for the tiller pic, Pat. Nice job again, btw.

Good lord, that's a manly beard! I grew one last winter but I kept it pretty short.   :)

This beard has been growing since June of '69. I'd be afraid to see what was under it now! :o

My True Love encouraged me to grow the beard, and cried when I shaved off it off!
