My son has develope an interest in this style of archery too,but he wants yew wood.Were can I get it?He likes the hickory bow I made for him,even with all the patches on it.Thanks for showing me how to cover a splinter.
look in the classifieds for bow building material, there was a guy there selling yew. i got some from him and it was awesome stuff, beautiful grain.
if you are wanting a stave get ahold of Curtis Brisky at brisky bows, I think his user name here is briskybows as well. If you can't find hime do a search and find his site.
