knot going through side of bow limb??? advice please
scp:
Del, with Yew, epoxy, length and your experience, those are extremely rare and far from "primitive" exceptions. Not even imaginable for the first bow.
George Tsoukalas:
Looks like a tough stave. If you continue be sure to tiller the knotted area slightly stiffer than the rest of the limb. Jawge
Jim Davis:
I'm going to be sarcastic but useful:
Hurry up and break that stave so you will learn to reject bad wood and not waste your time on it.
Most who have made a lot of bows would only tackle a stave like that if they were bored with success and wanted a challenge. Beginners try anything because they don't have something better.

True, but it's also how we learn...

I think it was somewhere is the first TBB that someone said "don't waste time and wood"
I am with Jim.
That's a stave for masters or masochists.
