Awesome help guys, I got one side a little thick at midlimb that I just noticed, so Im going to thin that down a bit and then exercise and leave it strung for a bit.  I did check and the string is still running straight across the center line.

Thanks so much for the help guys!

If the twist is natural I leave it alone. If I caused it by uneven wood removal then I fix it. It will always twist towards the weak side. Remove wood from the other side. Regarding when to string it with the short string, I usually long string tiller out to 10 inches of string movement...not tip movement. I check weight and look at the tiller. When the weight is equal to or slightly greater than target weight at 10 inches I string  it up. There are buildalongs on my site. Jawge

As mentioned, the truth will be told on a short string.  Just take your time and work your way down.
