Where to lose 2 or 3#

(1/5) > >>

bentstick54:
Working on an osage bow and need to lose the final 2 to 3# of draw weight. Limb on the right is the top limb and has a little bit of twist between verticle lines 1 and 3, right out of the fade. It feels good in the hand at release.
1-3/4” wide at the fades, straight tapering to 3/8” tips. 66” ntn.
Would you tweek the tiller somewhere at this point, or sand the edges down to just lose the weight?

Selfbowman:
Cut fades closer to center of bow making the limbs longer it won’t take much,

I bet by the time you sand it down and finish it it will be darn close to your goal.

good looking bow. you could scrape a little here - or do as arvin said. soften the inners a little.
