Sounds like you have a plan of attack in place. I did not see a forum at the EWBS site, is it still active?

Ruddy Darter:
I'm not sure, I would of thought so. It's been a couple of years or so for me.
My well wishes to them and hope they are all doing fine.  :OK

WillS:
The forum is hidden, and can't be accessed unless you're a paid member. 

I've not been a member for a year or so now, but most of the forum discussion has moved to Facebook, as there are only 2 or 3 EWBS members who don't use Facebook​.

Ruddy Darter:
I've got the belly rounded and I cleaned up the back. I have 5mm sapwood thickness.
I fixed on the horns, sorry to say I made a right pigs ear of it, drilled the horn wonky and more glue than good fit. I used a copious amount of superglue and activator and stood it upright, they will have to do.  O:)
Some pics and a couple of knots, I'll be keeping it stiffer here but do they look like they would pose any problems?

Ruddy Darter:
...one more pic, this is going to be the bottom limb. (same as tree growth I think :D), did I do right following the grain this way or will this cause me problems? (I took a little out with heat)
 I got reasonable tips and centre string alignment, all said and done, just for my knowledge, how crucial does it need to be dead centre?
And for side nocks, the groove left or right for the bottom and top nocks?
Thanks for any insight,
 R.D.
