"S'bout Time" ! Well, that's her name. I wonder why!
Finally got her done. She pulls 48#@26", lost most of her reflex but still shoots nice. The skin(from Clint) is a yellow phased timber rattler and is over 3 layers of sinew, 2 layers of cow leg sinew and one of moose leg sinew. Tip overlays are cow horn and the handle wrap is double strands of hemp cord, one tan the other brown with a floppy rest.
Here are a few pics...

56" t/t, 50#@26.   those are pretty stiff numbers,  how ya like Yew compared to Osage.

Very nice bow

Thanks for the compliments, Guys. Amazing what 30 years of repetition will get you.   
 Wolf, I've only worked on a couple of yew bows but really like it so far. I have a few more styles of yew bows I want to make when more yew becomes available. But, like Pappy says, "OSAGE IS KING" but he also says, "YEW IS QUEEN". 
 Actually there are very few bow woods I don't like.
