I think ill get the bow to a low brace first then decide if ill heat bend based off how the string tracks. Thanks for the tips everyone

Whether you need to when the time comes, or want to heat straighten the curve, you still want to follow the grain the best you can. If you get much grain run off the edge of the limb it will run a high risk of separating there. ( Grain lifting/ splintering)
