It wasn't a board and ya I knew the grain was bad but I went the opposite way with the drawknife when working the sides so as not to split it.

That's a shame, was looking nice. The corners still look a little sharp to me, but it's hard to tell in the photos.  I've made a lot of yew bows and all except a few have been sawn.
For sure looks like a twisty tree, I would of maybe left that one in the ground, but
I've made a few from sawn twisty staves and they are all still shooting
