Ok guys, I'm having a problem straightening this stave out. I need to move one limb over about 1 1/2" . I tried heat and weights but its not working well.

Just keep the bow away from the right angle cause it divert the heat under and it will scorch the back .

That's pretty much the way I do it.  And yep, I've gotten careless and scorched the back on a few.  Josh

Looks nice. Ur way ahead of me. I'm still chasing the grain. Took it down to another ring. Pin knots and the new baby girl are keeping me busy.

Thanks man, kids are great. My 2 1/2" daughter wanted a toy bow and arrow or a Donald Duck stuffed animal. She picked the bow. She's my little fishing buddy too. I love her.

The bow is looking nice man. Hope mine follows suit. Lol
