Pappy:
I thought after the Twins I would work on a good straight piece of wood ,so I picked one out ,it had a little wrinkle in one limb ,but I didn't think there was much to it,Well turned out worse than I had thought.I got it braces last night but it has been a struggle.I have some pictures from one side view then the other,look and tell me what you think,keep in mind how the to limb is dipping and
diving. ???

I would take wood off the midlimb and towards the tips on all of them. Hard to say without an unbraced profile..

DBernier:
Pappy, the limb with the wiggles looks a little stiff at brace, but one of my BL bows and especially my wife's Osage bow are the same. Then at full draw they are near perfect. I guess what I would do is work on wiggle limb and keep checking it. It just makes sense that wiggle limb will be stiffer and need more scraping. The other looks straight forward to bring it into compliance with the other. Sure will be another nice one.

Pappy:
