I’m seeing right limb needs more mid limb bend at this point to even up with the left. If you don’t have a tillering gizmo designed by Eric Krewson, they are easy to make and are a valuable tool.
Looking like your off to a good start.
Muskyman:
I’ve got one and you’re right. The last time I marked it it showed that. I stopped right there after marking the limbs. Had to get to some other things. Hoping to get back to it tomorrow.

It’s good to take a break, let it rest, then exercise 20 or 30 pulls, then recheck things before shaving off more. I have a problem not knowing when to walk away, then making a mistake.

Lookin good mike. +1 for what bentstick said.
M2A:
Pay attention to where that "temporary" set is at after you work the limbs. Thats where its working too hard and you want to make the other parts work more. I could be wrong but looks like you have taken a bit of set right out of the fades? But keep in mind a little set doesnt hurt. Never did see the dimensions you have on this piece. Regardless, nice looking work, keep at it!
Mike
