That looks like a nice piece of yew. Should make a nice selfbow. Be careful of the yew dust. It affects some folks adversely.

I'm starting to get a inferiority complex looking at all the organized shops you all inhabit :notworthy:
Still trying find the Yew in those pics.

Pat, I've heard that but luckily it doesn't bother me or anyone else in the shop.

I cremated a Doe today. My furry buddy Bert, came home after disappearing quietly, with really bad breath. It just crossed onto our property and laid down. Gut shot, not by an arrow. Looks like she froze, thawed and re-froze. The ground is frozen, so I could not dig a hole. Sucked for both of us, her more than me. I was warm all day.

  Yeah...  Thanks Roy...  It is a bit scary...  It's not too often that you are pushing in direct line of something that can take your digits off... That is the first thing on my list...  I will make them special to fit a 2 x 2 block of wood nicely...

   Hey Roy...  Where did you get the bandsaw guide on your (looks like) 14" bandsaw... Mine broke a while back and the replacement one I bought does not exactly fit right...  Can you get it with blocks also...

They are Carter roller guides.

Just seen Amazon has some.

But do a search for Carter guides and go from there.

They have blocks too.
