Title: Snake in thr grass.
Post by: Buemaker on October 11, 2010, 07:59:00 AM
This is a Yew bow I finished some time ago, kind of interesting to make these snaky bows. 60 pounds at 30" draw. Stupid of me not to take braced and full draw pics. Hope you like it. Bue--.

You still have a camera right?

It's a beauty for sure but it can't show it's self off in all of it's glory unstrung. IMHO

Thanks for sharing.

God bless,Mudd

Oh, there's beauty there, alright.  To take a difficult piece of yew and turn it into a working bow is very pleasant to the eye and talented, too.
Having made all wood and fiberglass laminated bows my quip is Fiberglass is fun but WOOD IS WONDERFUL!
Love to see the full draw picts.
