Looking good! I love the natural look of the wood very nice!
The right limb looks stiffer to me than the left. I'm not the expert though but since you asked.

Right on! I only asked because you mentioned taking some wood off the lower limb. It looks pretty close now.....I like to leave the lower limb a bit stiffer.
Again nice stuff.......looks like it should be pretty quick :)

If you need to lower the drawweight, I'd take wood from both midlimbs :) Most bend occurs is the fade area, with little bend in the midlimbs.
