        Just finished my most recent project a yew sapling bow with slightly reflexed outer limbs. It was a tricky stave and even more tricky to tiller. As can be seen on the pics its mostly sapwood so I made it quite long (72″ ntn and 62#@28″). Its one of my first real character bows and it nearly got the better of me…tiller is not perfect, but it shoots well, guess I cant ask for more than that atm;-)

            very nice, you handled that lower limb very well. its always the up and down wabbles that throw me off. great job!
