My afternoon client decided he wouldn't need power in his garage after all, so I came home and continuted with some slow and painful tillering. I realized after my last session that I wasn't comfortable with any of the tools I have for this task, so I went to leevalley.com and purchased some cabinet scrapers. But for now, I use what I have.
I've decided to dispense with both backing and reflex. I'm just too impatient to get this critter to weight and draw. Anyways, I got a little more agressive today than yesterday with wood removal, and fairly quickly I got 10" of limb travel with the long string.

So I braced for disaster. First time I braced a bow! I got a bit excited. Not as excited as I was buying a spool of string, mind you. $49!!?? What the hell!?

Looks pretty good I think. Not perfect, it's a little stiff in the outer third of the left limb, for example, but pretty even over all. However...

... There is some limb twist.
So now I'm pausing to search on how to deal with this. I think I know, but I'll read up anyways. Better safe than pregnant.
