English Yew self bow and first post
« on: December 18, 2010, 08:17:00 AM »
Hi everyone, I have been a reader of the forum for a long time and been amazed but some of the workmanship, but never posted anything myself.

So this is a blog post I wrote about making a yew selfbow, kind of a tutorial that follows a bow build from start to finish, I hope you enjoy it.

You did great work on that Flat American Bow.  And, I love your dodgy looking handle.  That design really appeals to my eye.
