Morning!

I am in danger of perfecting this into the bin but the limbs are not quite balanced and I cannot see why. I could really do with a fresh pair of eyes on this.  Thanks in advance.

Del the cat:
Looks a bit stiff just above centre...
E.G. In the top pic, the lower limb looks ok, top limb stiff just above where it is supported, (above the fade).

Done a little scraping here and therr.  How's it look?

Aksel:
Looks pretty even, lower limb might bend more even, upper more at the fade. Lower limb might look a little stiffer but it can all be due to the angle of the photo. is it taking any set?

stuckinthemud:
It took a small amount of set early on in the process but has not taken on any additional set recently. even after getting past brace. Here's the really wierd thing, I could just squeeze my middle finger through the gap between the centre and the bench, but they both rubbed the skin, then I tempered the bow - only a light tempering, and the bow was not strapped down - and then re-measured the set and it has almost all disapeared.  Long and short, one limb has no set, the other has a natural deflax-reflex curve which has taken on about 1/4" of additional set
