I can see that yew is the best wood for making warbows as the sapwood is a really good bow backing I know that many warbows were probs not backed but left without any backing at all. No sinew or rawhide or cloth. I have a semi finished yew bow but it has some knots in the back and I found it really hard to get a single growth ring. Chasing rings in sap was super hard. My question is does the yew back need to be perfect or not? If they made a ton for war, then they must have been produced fairly fast and not all of them would have had pristine backs.
is a yew self bow better than a hickory backed yew warbow?
