how can i bend an archery bow without breaking it ?

i made a bow stave out of a half-green yew wood but its still a straight stave , when i
try to bend it to string the bow , it sounds like the stave is going to break , is there
a process i should apply befor i try bending the stave ? and should the bow be a bow like shape
befor i string it ? or should it be straight all the time befor stringing ? but please dont tell me to visit any websites or e-books, a clear (detailed if possible) answer would be soo much appreciated

So you don't want links to websites and forums where you can get the detailed, in-depth answers to your question..... Well, there ain't enough room here to give ya all that information, so I guess you'll have to do some googling.

Here's a partial answer, at least: Drying the stave properly is only part of the whole process. Get some wax, paint, tar, whatever, and seal the ends of the stave; set it in the rafters of your basement (if you have one) for about two to five months. If you don't have a basement, use the attic; if you don't have an attic, lay it on the shelf in your closet. Once the stave is properly dried, it needs to be shaped and tillered; shave down the sapwood side of the stave until you have exposed one growth ring -- but be sure you don't cut into the next growth ring, or you'll definitely end up with a broken bow. Now shave down the heartwood side until it starts looking like a bow. Time for tillering; you need to put a 'tillering string" on the "bow" and see how the "bow" bends -- it needs to bend evenly in both limbs. Shave tiny, thin pieces of wood from the "inside" of the arc until both limbs bend evenly, and the bow's draw-weight is where you want it.

Notice that I am skipping over a lot of the information needed to make a completely usable bow, such as how to know when the stave is dry enough, the tools needed, how to do the "shaving", how to take the sapwood down to one growth ring, exactly what tillering really is, etc.. For that, you will just have to find the detailed information/instruction on those websites and forums you don't want to visit. Like I said at the start, there ain't enough room here.

But it sounds to me that your stave is a lost cause already -- if you hear "breaking" noises as the stave bends, it's likely already broken.
