Here's a post from my blog, you can follow the subsequent posts and see that it turned into a fine bow (still with the twist).
It's just to show that twist isn't necessarily a problem. I've also made bow where I removed the twist, so either way is possible.

When can I start the floor tillering process, this tree was cut this August?
Where can I get plans on building a longbow that doesn't bend in the handle?
You guys are a wealth of knowledge, and thanks again.

Generally the floor tillering process doesn't strain the bow enough to worry about. Your main concern is getting limbs bending evenly and you don't need more than about 4" or so of tip movement to complete floor tillering.
