Ain’t lifting my skirt tail no higher round this bunch!

Just couple old cabinet scrapers and door hinge. Little tape to help grip.

I'll bet Flem is a lot of fun at parties

I have never seen a Yew stave with so thin year rings. The outer part close to the back cannot even with s magnifying glass be counted. The sap wood was damaged so had to take it off. It is two billets spliced together with hide glue.

That’s the finest grained wood I have ever seen. Are you going to back it?

I've heard that yew heartwood should be backed. I think rawhide would be enough.
I bet that stave will make a snappy bow, Bue.

Nice bue

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #1469 on:** May 25, 2021, 06:47:04 PM »

Yew and Boo make a quick pretty bow.

Bowjunkie · « **Reply #1470 on:** May 25, 2021, 06:59:45 PM »

I'm guessing you didn't follow one ring for the back

I might back it with deer rawhide if the back was clear and ring violations were minimal. Otherwise I'd probably flatten it and use maple, hickory, or bamboo. Hard maple looks similar to yew sapwood.

Buemaker · « **Reply #1471 on:** May 26, 2021, 05:58:17 PM »

Thanks for suggestions, I will back it with something. Perhaps moose sinew. It is at least 25 years since I cut the tree, so no rush.

Pat B · « **Reply #1472 on:** May 26, 2021, 08:59:17 PM »

Looking forward to seeing what you can do with moose sinew.

Mad Max · « **Reply #1473 on:** May 26, 2021, 09:53:20 PM »

25 years was long enough.
get the sinew wet

Then we can watch Pat's and yours come together
