Hickory backed Yew flatbow/ just finished
« on: August 05, 2011, 09:54:00 AM »
I made this bow out of Yew billets planed flat and backed with a Hickory lam as thin as I dared to plane it. It's backed with Eastern Diamondback. 64" 57#@26". It took 1" of sting follow.I'm happy with the way it turned out.
