Thanks all. Both limbs are the the same length, also, a stave cures fast when i am continually working on them. after harvesting i usually pick a few and carve them down to rough bow form; at that point they live in the house with me where they lean in a corner of the living room where they get looked at- held- and analyzed very often, with the occasional talking-to in the shop; quite the love affair really. Ill let the more dense wood sit longer, but most bows i can finish in just a few weeks from tree to bow in this way. This may be right OR wrong, but this is the way i have taught myself. Thank you all for you kind words
