I think I'm just a few scrapes away from getting that bottom limb around I hope I can smooth it out by 27 inchesish

The angle of the picture isn't the greatest. its better to have camera more square to bow. harder to judge bend this way but to me it looks like your a bit stiff mid and outer limb. that right limb coming out of fade looks dangerously close to a hinge if it isn't already. if I'm seeing it right Id put a X there and NOT  remove wood there.

My porch wasn't wide enough to get a straight on shot. I will move my tillerin post this weekend and show more pics. It does look like a hinge but there's a flat spot in that right limb between the bends. I think the stick is still a little green. It's 1.5 inches wide by 5/8 deep. Should be closer to 100 pounds not 60 so I'm gonna let it sit a while and try again. I had to heat up the limbs to get it back to straight. It took two inches of set on that post. Its been a bow blank for a month now. I would've thought for sure that it was ready. But I've been wrong before........a bunch. Never stopped me from doing what I do though 😋
