Hi All,
This is my latest yew character bow. Lumps bumps knots n all which made things very tricky all the way through the build.
Pulls about late 40`s at 27 which seems to be my new draw length.
It is 60 inches nock to nock with lightly flipped tips. Belly is flat at rest with the reflex in the tips lifted off the deck so little or no set which makes for a great string at brace tension.
Finish is Tru-oil which is a first for me and its great stuff. Very easy to apply and dries quick. Still needs another coat but it makes the wood look good enough to eat,,,well nearly.
The handle is dyed veg tan with an arrow shelf slipped in. Beginning to like a small arrow rest.
Looses and arrow very nice.
Nice creamy white back
Ember red belly.
Braced
