#custom bow

I just spent over 30 minutes on a sidebar image before I realized I was getting super carried away and it was WAY too long

My old yew bow .

 Follower Wctruitt asked for a few more pics of my bow from this thread here http://ru-titley-knives.tumblr.com/post/113082278846/summer-woodland-archery-not-so-much-robin-hood

 Apart from making green wood ash bows as a kid this is the only bow Ive made ,off hand think it was about 8 years ago  but would love to customize some and possibly try making a few more one day . 

The yew came from an old Churchyard yew tree in central Wales  and I used a draw knife and small hatchet to do most of the work followed by a drum sander to finish then wet and dry papers  .

 certainly not a pretty thing but it shoots well enough for my needs ,(Ive no idea on the poundage/ draw weight )

 As in the original post here’s also a close up of the handmade canvas arrow bag made up from a C-130 Hercules drop chute bag , its on a webbing sling that can be detached for belt carry if needed and folds up or down for use or transport .
