If anybody want to trade for these yew bows for osage ,Am open to that.
These are 85% done unless you want to tiller them down on their weight, they are about to #70-#75 right now and rough.

Alex, are you going to put a shelf on them? I see alot of the yewbows be real snaky. I guess if you get the tiller right, that doesn't matter how they shoot?

RE: Anybody worked with Yew bows before ?
 

Right now I cut them for english type bows a shelf can be added and wrapped with the leather grip if one wants to go that way. I don't know if I'll finish these <i have several yew bows that I purchase already made.
But only have a #35 osage bow <i will like to have one around #55 from osage.
