Yew stave straightening
Muskyman:
I’ll try and find it. I’ve never really straightened anything and am just a bit unsure as to how. I have watched others do it but, not really anything like this.
Pearl, I’m planning on trying to take it more to bow shape before I start trying to bend it. Planning on trying to make a jig of some kind before I start trying to do any straightening.. probably should get a few more clamps to.
Thanks again gentlemen
Muskyman:
Went to Del’s site and after about a minute I subscribed. He’s a yew wood guy for sure. I’m pretty sure I’ll sure I’ll find some help on his site, just need to go through some of his videos and find one on straightening yew staves. Great resource for bow building.
Thanks for that Bjrogg
PEARL DRUMS:
That bloke :) is on here often. I'm sure he will gladly chime in and help all you need. He is one of the old timers around here.

First Yew bow of the year had a load of deflex and some knotty areas:- Here's the playlist

And here's a post from my blog showing a knot that I managed to fill successfully on a 90# ELB
