Nice  one.
I was also suprised about a normal yew stave I had which was tempered and after that it has highly string tension and a very good performance.
I think yew loves it to get heated up.

Thank you guys.

I don't like that finish for how long it takes to cure but it sure does bring out the colour of the Yew nicely.  The stave had about 30 rings per inch

Very nice Marc!
 Would love to see more of that hole in the limb.

Here's what the major knots look like, top limb first then bottom.  Some of the knots don't go through to the back
