Another very special blade and I just love it!
Yew-Yew-Kiri-Zirbe-Yew
5,3mm, 1008Hz, 89,5g
I did not sand the handle but carved it with an opinel knife from thuja.
The handle is uneven and extremely safe this way even without grip tape. Looks ancient in some ways and perfectly fits to the myth of the yew tree. Even the Ötzi made his bows from yew tree and later the English long bows were built of it to (and Harry Potters Magic wand).
Yew is very hard and heavy but flexible (which makes it perfect for long bows).
I tried the hellfire long pips on the BH (double yew) and C48 on FH- its a dream and though I dont play long pips in matches I take this bat out just for fun in almost any session. Just finished the second one and will try it with 2x inverted rubbers.
