RE: Yew ELB
Slow and easy wins the race mate;)specially with a band saw.
What blade do you have in it? Mine is a 6 tooth per inch I would have loved to get a 4 tooth per inch but none of the hardware stores carry the 4 tooth[:@] |
RE: Yew ELB
I have a 4tooth/in 1/2 blade just for this. I hate it when I get a stave where one side, they left 80% of the material but the other side just enought for a bow. It sucks, the material that make the best bow is the most knarly and contrary. I learned alot on this cut however. But I think I can pull a bow out of it.

But I think I can pull a bow out of it. The Plywood riser bow went into the oven 1 1/2 hours ago;) |

RE: Yew ELB
Man, Lockout that bandsaw already! Yew isn't exactly easy (or cheap) to come by. [:-] Looks like you'll still be able to pull off an ELB. My limited experience with yew is that it works easily...too easily, as I'm accustomed to osage and nearly cut yew in half with a single scraper pass. Have you decided whether or not to thin the sapwood? I think 3/8" is right on the border. Really, I think it would be fine either way.Narrow those tips a little more before you get the horn nocks on. I love selfbow buildalongs. Can't wait to check in again to see what you've done!
