But fickle.
I once talked with a bowyer, and these days it's hard to get good quality yew.
Making a good self bow instead of a multi-wood takes an incredible amount of skill. And with the questionable yew quality, it is very possible they'll shatter after the first few draws.
The bowyer I talked to told me that he charges a lot more for a yew self bow, because he guarantees against manufacturing defects. Sometimes a yew bow shatters to pieces at the first draw, so then he is out of the money for the yew, and he lost $$$ in work.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
