The bow has a nice little hint of deflex reflex. Pic shows it when it was first unwrapped.
I glued on some Elm nocks so that I could get it on the tiller for a first try out. The thickness taper needs some work as the boo isn't a consistent thickness due to the nodes and the thickness taper on the Yew was only roughed on the band saw.
Anyway, the first try out looked pretty good. Youtube video here:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziP5fI5pDKk&t=13s
I've been working on getting the thickness taper somewhere near even at about 1.5mm every 6" along the limbs and then I'll have another look and maybe pull it a bit harder.
I only took it up to about 90# first time as I could see the outers weren't working.
