   I don't see why you could'nt tiller it on out if you wish to.
  I never heard of your problem, never add sinew or heard of it not adding it'd own reflex.
  Everytime I sinewed a bow I perpeared the back as if I was'nt adding sinew (CHASED A RING). And the shape of the back as what I added the sinew to. I realize you don't chase a ring with YEW. On these types of woods I use the back right under the bark. No need to file it flat to add siinew just add like it is.

George I used Tb hide glue

crook I just didnt see any reason to get it bending to much as it will be a wall hanger but as is she can display it braced or unbraced, also not sure why I flatened the back, just seemed like the thing to do at the time. Thanks again guys for the info. Even though I dont know exsactly why or how this was caused I am guessing it was a freak accident and hope it wont happen on the next one I attemp. Thanks again!

nice looking bow im sure you grandpa will be very proud of you. Did you pre bend the wood before sinewing to add reflex ? The only possibilty I could think of is the wood was pre bent before sinewing and then went back to its original shape in the 2 weeks you let it dry
