I hadn't thought deeply about yew and sapwood until you mentioned it, Tom. But I happen to have a yew-wood bow from the '30s. I've seen a few others, too. All I have seen are sap wood. These have been relatively light bows, target bows, and I see no signs of any heart wood. With the old English long bows, your mileage may differ -- with roughly 100 pound draws, they're much heftier. Mike in Woodland |
