Back to the H Bow?

 I've had a couple of weeks off, been replacing the kitchen worktops and tarting up the paintwork, grouting and replacing the cooker hood, while my better half cleaned tided and sorted the drawers, cupboards etc. I'd been putting it off for about 7years, so I can't complain. 

I'd also been distracted by water pouring down the ouside of the big double patio doors... my home made solar hot water panels had sprung a leak due to frost bursting one of the plastic fittings (at least it wasn't the copper pipes). It was all due for a flush out and re-furb. The header tank had a nice thick growth of slime on the surface, so that's all been removed, emptied cleaned and fresh antifreeze/inhibitor added. Just needs a nice sunny day and it should kick in.I've finally got the garage back to some sort of state of tidiness so I can get back to work on the H Bow and trying to make a roving bow from a very scruffy stave (which will need a long piece added to the belly) for one of the guys from the club.

I noticed a few people had been looking at a post of a miniature Yew ELB I did in 2012, so I had a look at it, interestingly, it is only about 1-2" shorter than the H bow:-
