After 15 minutes, I unwrapped the ace bandages to prevent them from leaving an ace bandage pattern on the skins.
 Before wrapping, I had used a razor to cut the skins close to the bow.
After about 1.5 - 2 hours, I use 150 grit sandpaper stapled to a piece of lath, and at a steep angle, pushing down and towards the tips, I trim the skins to fit.

Hawkdancer:
Where did you have the branding iron made?  I like that idea!

There is a place online called Shapeways. This one is actually designed to hook to a lighter, but I don’t see a lighter getting it hot enough. I think they are around $25-30 for a custom shape.
