First flexing of the Yew Heartwood Primitive.

I've had it up on the tiller for a quick shufti.

I'm only pulling to just over 40 to see how it's moving. Pretty awful, but some movement in the inner limbs, I'll take wood off the mid and outers. the left limb inner is obviously moving most and I'll leave that alone.
In the video I say it's pulling 45# - 50# but I'm not actually pulling that much... it's not always easy to see when you are watching the bow move. It will be interesting to see how I get the tiller even as it progresses.
