My Jay St. Charles yew selfbow

Some of the pics are a bit fuzzy (autofocus... couldn;t tell it was off on the tiny screen). I'll try to update with some clearer pics tomorrow.

A very handsome bow. That light wood will darken in a year or two and look even better!

I really like the darker horn nocks -- mine (from a different bowyer) came with light nocks, but yours have more visual appeal.

missed this long time ago.

The arrows are made by me. They have 1/16th inch thick horn inserts. The nocks still need to be rounded, the feather wrappings need a coat of glue, and I need to add arrow heads. But I thought I'd add them in for some visual variety.
