Whats the best way to tweek a piece of aged yew, steam or dry heat?

What are you trying to do to it ?

Got a little twist to deal with.

Pictures please and thank you!  Got lots of BL and would love to know more  

I think you can use dry heat to remove twist. Is this a selfbow?  How does it shoot? A little twist in selfbows isn't usually a problem.

Just apr. of billets at the time.A lil progress made.


Still playing with the tips.
Oh yeah steam seams to be the ticket.

Yew seems to like heat no matter what it is, all depends on how dry the wood is. If its seasoned like you say, I would use dry heat.

Wet wood, steam heat.  

Dry wood, dry heat.

Yew needs some kind of tip overlays too. The wood is very soft and the string will saw its way into it and eventually split at the front of the nock groves. Nice looking bow.

Ooops, see that you have antler overlays - nice work.

I steam all my yew.  Yew cures brittle so heat can cause an explosion, I know from experience.  I only use heat to tweak aligment at the handle.  To be safe I use steam.
