I learned that lesson the hard way years ago when I thinned a naturally reflexed area on the lower limb a bit too much tryiung to get it ti respond to wood removal. My punishment was a thump on the head when the limb broke. :) Jawge

That's funny Jawge (you know now not then). Well I did check mass and looks like the stiffer side is heaver. I then made one inch marks on both limbs from tips up, using OD caliper discovered the stiffer limb is wider! I couldn't tell it with just a tape measure, but it is. Didn't get a chance to mess with it tonight I needed to play with my son some before mommy got home. I will get on it tomorrow and work the sides.

Thank you to every one who joined in on this one!
Now if I can get the rest of the bow to come out right, I have never made one to pull this far before.

I had a feeling that one side was a bit wider Trey, on a pyramid bow once both limbs are bending the same I like to side tiller
to bring in the final weight. Can't wait to see it done :)
