Nicely done. For the record, it twists to the strong side. Sometimes, I cut the nocks in further on the weak side which is why I leave them a good inch wide to start. I don't always heat to fix things. Jawge

Had a few more twists with this stave - obviously My tiller went wrong or just as many said a bad stave , BUT i have spent few days with heat gun and made 4-5 small corrections in different Places and now today string sitting happy -
still some twist in the limbs but can shoot and the string will return to a central spot .
getting 52Lbs at 30" and will happily pull 33" ..
have sanded to 60grit so far will not oil it yet as really want to make sure the wood/bow has settled and happy where the string sits .
Thanks for all comments - few people told me turn the Billet into firewood so got 2 bows 41lbs and a 52lbs (and this bow ) seems to pack hell of a punch even 52lbs seems more power then other bows i made of similar weight..
