Looks to be another lesson coming up....
I keep looking at this nice Yew stave but haven't build up the confidence to start working it. It's just to hard to get Yew... maybe this will push me a little closer :)

I got home this afternoon and did some more scraping. I've got it bending but I'm gonna go slow. I've blown up too much Yew and this piece of wood has some vicious knots on the edge that have been sawn through. I'm gonna go by feel and try to keep the tiller even and guess the weight as I go. I want to get the ends bent and the sinew on it before I really start stressing it.
The first pictures in the shop is getting it to finally start bending a little, then a side profile, along with the real nasty knot right where I want to start bending the tip, (might have to compromise there) :-\, then bending it with a 54" string, It feels like about a #100 at that pull with a fastflight string digging into my fingers. But, it's geting there.
Ive got to start packing, pulling out for S.C. tomorrow nite. I'll srape some more and start bending it when I get back next week.
