Author Topic: Yew ELB build along... Sparky Trad Bowhunter Member # 584 posted                     Well, got myself a E-bay Yew half log the other day. Real good buy for the money. I got two decent staves out of it and one marginal stave. Guess I'm gonna attempt a ELB from one of them. I have only made one ELB from ASH, and it didn't make it. Anybody got any good dimensions to compare to. Looking for about 55# @ 29". The stave is 73" long. I'm gonna take my time on this one...hope you guys ain't gettin tired of the build-alongs. First pics in a little while.

Keep 'em coming I'll be watching this one with interest -------------------- Dances with Turtles Posts: 1995 | From: Ontario | Registered: Aug 2004  |  IP: Logged |  DCM Charter Member Member # 107 posted                     Fantastic! I love build alongs. I don't know about yew Sparky but if I had to guess I'd rough cut it to 1 3/8" and 5/8" at the nocks. Then I'd look to reduce it by 1/8" in width carefully. On the thickness I'd rough cut it to 1 1/8" down to 5/8". I expect finished dims to be inside of 1 1/4" x 1" at the handle and inside 1/2" round at the nocks, if you don't pike it. If you built it proud of 72" and then piked it for the nocks down to 71" or so I bet you could have a hum dinger. Any reflex in it? See if you can get a detailed pic of the rings and sap wood thickness.

I have it backed down cept for sanding smooth. Sapwod is right at 1/4" thick. The wood is perfectly straight. Got some pin's and knots, but think I can miss alot of them in the final profile. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sparkylongbow/my_photos Sparky -------------------- "Dang...you really do have a 29+ inch draw"...DCM at MoJam 2005 Posts: 805 | From: Granbury, Texas | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Sparky Trad Bowhunter Member # 584 posted                     Glad you guys are intrested...I'm gonna need help with this one.

I'll be watching. -------------------- Dave I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Does such a thing even exist? Posts: 45 | From: Coulee Dam, Washington State | Registered: Aug 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Sparky Trad Bowhunter Member # 584 posted                     Thanks all...dis ought to be fun. JD, when I said straight I was answering David's question with regards to reflex...LOL Yep it's gonna have some whoop-te-doos... I will prolly leave it at 1/4" unless their is an advantage to thinning it. Don, if it did it would be worth more than Gold...LOL Sparky -------------------- "Dang...you really do have a 29+ inch draw"...DCM at MoJam 2005 Posts: 805 | From: Granbury, Texas | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Dano Contributor 2009 Member # 748 posted                        Hey Sparky, you are planning on backing this with rawhide aren't you? -------------------- "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy" Red Green Posts: 7499 | From: Nevada | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |
