I have plenty of raw beeswax.  If you want, I can send you a bit.  No charge

I think i'm going to recurve the bow too. I found a "easy" way of doing it. meaning i don't need my dad to help me bandsaw a form. I'm going to tiller it to 20" then set the recurve in. is that OK? what would you do?

Left limb looks to be a tad weaker than the right. Hard to tell for sure but check it. Take your straight edge and check the bend. Love that unbraced profile!  Looking good.

Yep, with that unbraced profile, you should be able to get pretty far by using the straight edge or gizmo...it doesn't look like there are any dips or other irregularities to account for.
