So did you ever get it bending to a warbow weight?

after 3 blades breaking thats one of my next things to do is find some, i do know of one they sell at my local hardware store, but i don't feel like paying 40 for a file/rasp, although at this point it would have been close to paying for itself

Tractor supply has them for 20 some dollars.  They're nice.  I got one for Christmas and have used it ALOT already.  Lowe's has a nice rasp too for around $8.  It's not nearly so big.  It's called a woodworker's rasp.  The rasp side is vaguely round, and then has an aggressive file side that is flat.  I've had one since my 2nd bow and have used it extensively. 

I wasn't trying to rush you by the way.  Just curious of news.   ;D

I second the tractor supply farriers rasp. I used my last for 2 years, and just picked up a new one. They are perfectly fine rasps, and remove material faster than any other rasp I have found. They cost 25 dollars, but if they cost 100 dollars, I would have no problem buying one, as it is so essential to every bow I make.
