My first Yew Stave Project....

[PEARL DRUMS]

I guess its ok....

[Dan Landis]

Man Roy, you do it all.  Laminated Bows, Self Bows, Master Chef, and now "Roy's Guide Service".  Makes me wonder what's next?
Lookin Good by the way....Dan

Roy's   Gas n Go ?    

Now go kill sumpin now that yer mad!!  

[b.glass]

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

[coaster500]

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

[D]

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

[Roy from Pa]

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

[stringstretcher]

Great job as usual Roy.  Be glad to see it all finished and dressed up.

[DVSHUNTER]

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

[Roy from Pa]

What the heck is that? Ya think I'm some kind of Master Bowyer, Son?

[Dan Landis]

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

[Razorbak]

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

[Keenan]

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]

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.

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.
