taking from the tips and midlimb? you might have to thin it some and not just narrow

Sorry if the terminology I used is wrong.

I am mainly removing wood from the belly to get more bend (?thinning?) and even out the bend and some from the sides (?narrowing?) but at this point mostly from the belly. I left the belly fairly thick to start (in relation to the size and thickness at the middle) so I would have some bulk there to remove

So I finished this one the tillering is a little off and the string really needs to be replaced with something better but I get the full 7" draw I wanted and it shoots my little arrow across the room faster than I can see it
