Maybe if I call mine "El Verynicebow"it may be more forgiving. :)
It is something I wanted to try out, and would keep bugging me till I did give it a go. If it does go T's-up I can put it down to experience. I got some more wood to play with. I must admit I'm a little worried about the back now, it seems harder. I'll string it near the weekend after a couple more coats and gently draw it and see what's occurring. Good or bad, I will post how it goes.

When I heat treat I take precautions to keep the heat off the back, layers of masking tape, or side cheeks clamped to the bow.

Ruddy Darter:
Thank you Badger, that's nice to know, and thanks Del for those tips, I used a slit attachment on the heat gun for directing the heat, but if I do this on yew again I'll incorporate those pointers too , 8)

Ruddy Darter:
Tried the bow today, not a great increase in draw weight, its hitting 100lbs@25" and didn't fancy measuring passed that on the tiller as its a bit frosty today and didn't want to chance cracking it over my head. I'll measure after some loosed arrows. (estimates at 31"?).
Holding up ok thus far.

RD, your upper limb looks stronger than the lower.
