Second growth yew question. (UPDATE #3 WITH VIDEO)
DC:
How close is that to the final depth? That's the one I'm concerned with.

Whoops! I got to thickness tapering today. Here's the two sides and belly view of the possible problem spot. Gotta scrape the last few tenths of a mm off and horn it then its ready to string up. https://imgur.com/dV0o4HF https://imgur.com/zSVzATF https://imgur.com/Xs7Yy6d
It rasped as one piece of wood. As in the two layers didn't seem to act separate while cutting across. I'm glad I decided to keep full sap. My thoughts are if the spot pops it'll hopefully pop as one piece and can be glued on like a belly patch.
DC:
That looks OK. I'd still soak the area with CA if it was me. Try to get a pool of glue over the crack. I've noticed with CA that if you can keep a pool of liquid on the surface it soaks in better. If you just put a thin coat on and let it harden you won't get any more in. I may be wrong but that's what it looks like to me.
peacefullymadewarbows:
Thank you for sticking with me DC. I will do just that. Worst thing that happens is that I have glue stains to scrape off if there's no where for it to soak into. Will update with how it's going.
meanewood:
I would go ahead and get that 'tear out' sanded out before removing any more wood from this area.
Also fine sand the back, belly and sides 50-100mm either side of the problem.
It's easier to keep a eye on the problem if it's smooth!
