You are welcome, Gordon. I remember a yew bow I was making for myself. I took great pains to insure that wood removal was even on each of side on each limb. Sure enough. Strung her up and she was a leaner. Fixed it easily though as I described above. Wood has a mind of its own for sure. :) Jawge

Well, this one is destined for my corner of shame. No amount of wood removal from the strong side would move the limb over and it is now starting to crysall on the weak edge. I'm going to try a radical handle bend just to see what happens but I think she's done. Some things just aren't meant to be...

Thank you all for the advice.
