I see one thing wrong with this bow Roy. I shoot split fingers.

That's looking very "OK" Roy ... even if I am on your list

Man that thing is going to be a real beauty roy. Can't wait to see it done.

Well I got her pulled to 27 inches on the tree, which is my draw length. The pull rope tracks straight down the line. She is 45 pounds at that and the final sanding is already done. Will hit her with 320 grit a bit before sealing her up.

She has a 1/8th positive tiller.

UN-strung she is pretty much straight.

Click on the picture below, it's a video. But it's a little hard to pull the bow and hold the camera steady:)

Keenan, Thanks So Much for the awesome Yew Stave..
Roy

Don't forget to pressure seal that thing before you final seal it Roy.

Nice Job Roy!! Is this your first self bow?...Dan

Razorbak · « **Reply #156 on:** October 30, 2012, 07:43:00 PM »

man I wish I had a 1/4 of your talent

Keenan · « **Reply #157 on:** October 30, 2012, 08:15:00 PM »

Love it, And the cabin is a perfect home for that beauty! Very nice tiller Roy. Are you going to leave her natural or skin her. Your probably ready for the next journey of a master bowyer :eek: "FISH SKINS"

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #158 on:** October 30, 2012, 08:39:00 PM »

Keenan, if I wanted her smelling like fish, I'd rub a can of sardines onto her:) I think I am just going to leave her plain, no stain, just tongue oil or true oil. Prolly tongue oil, Kenny likes that stuff too.

Dan this is my first self bow in 10 years. I only ever made one self bow before. That was my very first bow in 2002.

Keenan · « **Reply #159 on:** October 30, 2012, 08:49:00 PM »

That creamy sapwood looks great with oil. Really makes a great contrast with the heart wood.
My wife spotted the war dress on the wall and likes your cabin.
