Hidden fault in Yew Lower limb -Advice please.

Uncovered fault.

Apologies, I somehow lost the copy. A Yew Holmegaard type bow in the roughing out stage. The stiff section of the outer part of the lower limb. This fault uncovered. If I remove any loose material then flood the area with Epoxy and a bit of heat to flow it into the space. Do you think that'll work? Thanks G.

The Mollegabet/Holmegaad. Have been favorites designs for me. Of the two images, the wider bow (with the bound upper limb) is made from Elm with sinew nocks and shot 50Lbs at 28in. The thin bow is made from laminated Hickory. It was built , some 20 years ago, by a friend, intended to be more as a test piece at about 60Lbs. Many years ago, I took it along to the County of London Longbow championships, and won. Sadly, It has quite a bit of set now. The Elm bow went bang one day and lifted a part of it's upper limb, on the back, so I'm looking for someone, who can build me a replacement for this classic European flatbow. I hope you like them as much as I do. G.
