Dane:
David, remember, TAKE YOUR TIME. It is exciting as you see the bow emerge, but go slow now. You will be finished before you know it, as well. Bow buidling is not a speed sport. And be sure and exercise the limbs after you finish each scraping or sanding session. Pull the string back a number of times to let the wood settle into the new configuration. Kind of like schooling the wood where it is now supposed to bend, if that makes sense.

David, do you have a tillering tree which will allow you to check your draw weight at the varying draw distances as you work the tiller toward your own personal draw length? You should never draw the bow past what you want the final draw weight to be.

I hook a fishing scale on the string and pull it to the right mark on the tillering tree
Pappy:
What was the weight at what draw ?I thought you said you went from brace to shooting it
with no work in between,I must have misunderstood. ???

Justin Snyder:
I'll bet you could untwist that string about 6 twists and the brace would be a lot better.
Pappy, that is what I understood also. Justin

I agree Justin, as long as the string is twisted enough to begin with.
