My first Yew Stave Project....

[Roy from Pa]

Ok, the rh in my shop is around 60. I'll give her a few days..

[coaster500]

Yankee Smankee you must be a Roy Neck  

That looks great Roy...  I think that's gonna finish out real nice, I mean OK

[Keenan]

Yea that ol Royneck is gonna be Ok

[Roy from Pa]

Roughed out sanded the horn tip overlays today. Going to let her sit another day or two, then get her on the tree.....

[DesertDude]

This is so cool,  Thank you.....

[Keenan]

This is just like watching your child being born.  Kinda gets you all excited wondering what she'll look like!  

[AkDan]

great build Roy!   makes me wished I had bid harder on the yew staves at teh P&Y banquet last spring in MN.  

Heard we have some on Prince of Wales island...might have to make a bear hunt wood gather trip out of it now   .

I had a real cute and smart*** comment to make about Roy birthing a child, but I can't afford to be on any lists this fall!
Instead, I'll just enjoy the thread and learn through Roy's experience with the yew.
Lookin' good, Roy neck. And thanks for straightening Keenan out about North-n-South.    

[Roy from Pa]

LMAO Red. Go ahead and let her rip, what's a little ole thumpen list anyways?

[Roy from Pa]

Sanded up the horn tip over lays and have the string grooves in too. But I have a problem, this stave lost most of the reflex I put in it. I need to make a caul like Keenan or adapt something to get some good reflex in her. I will lay her on her back and get her belly all hot and lubed up, then put the clamps to her, just like Pat suggested.. LMAO But I kin do that:)

You cranking up the Barry White music on that yellow radio in the window?    

ps: great info for soon to be newbie. Just hope it ain't that addictive. Wife may get jealous.

You can tiller that out as is and end up with about a inch of follow,which is fine in my book, but maybe not yours. You need to do as Keenan showed you and you'll get better results,and it'll drive the heat deeper. I have a half caul that wood work perfectly for what your trying to do. If your not in a hurry or got some spare time this weekend I could come out n give ya hand n use my caul, n show ya how its done..lol.

If not,ill just sit back n keep watching the entertainment    

[Roy from Pa]

Take your pick, Saturday or Sunday? I hate bows with string follow:)

[LeeNY]

[Roy from Pa]

Wonder if Ole Pearly Drummer Boy would come out, Chris? We could teach him how to make bows:)
