Yew Stick Bow


 Back last Autumn, I cut a branch off the Yew in the back garden that was overhanging the patio (on instruction from the missus). It was an oval cross section at the base about 3" x 4". There were plenty of knots and bends in it, but just for fun I roughed it out on the bandsaw to a half round section and strapped it up to a length of 3x2 to season.
It needs some steam bending but the wood is a lovely colour and works nicely.
I've started work on it and been videoing the process.
