Finally got to try out some yew! This is a bamboo backed spliced yew board with a thin strip of redheart in between the two. It has yew and redheart accents in the handle and redheart and horn at the tips. 63" ntn, 50# at 28". The bamboo is covered with rattlesnake skins. Yew certainly is a nice bow wood, but I don't really care too much for it. Due to it's soft nature it dings really easily and I don't like a bow I feel I have to baby. Seems that nothing can beat osage in my book. Excellent shooter though.

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
Did I tell yew that I just started a nursery/kindergarten for bows that need to be babied. I'll PM you the address if you're intrested. :D
I was just dreaming up a profile like that on my drive home today. I'm wrestling with a pronounced R/D all wood and the more I look at it the more I think the extreme R/D's should be left to fiberglass. I do love some curves in a bow and it seems you found a beautiful balance.
How does it shoot?
