Bend check after heat treating

[upstatenybowyer]

This is a BL bow I've been working on. It's got some natural deflex, so I flipped the tips a bit after I had the tiller worked out.

Then... I gave it a good heat treating and holy monkeys... it gained a ton of draw weight - like 15 lbs.

So now I've got to remove wood, but I thought I'd check with you guys to see if you see any areas you think I should concentrate on, or if you think the bend looks good in which case I'll just remove an even amount across the entire belly.

Thanks in advance for your input.

You could bring the bend back into the fades on the top and bottom limbs. Other than that she looks good.

Looks more like the mid limb areas could work a bit more to me.  If you just heat-treated it then I would hold off reducing much weight until it hydrates back up.

Thanks all for your thoughts. I haven't worked a whole lot w/ BL. I remember many of you saying how well it reacts to heat treating, but I wasn't quite expecting it to react that well. 

Sounds like some scrapes off the mids to inners then overall weight reduction is the way to go.

Exactly, so I would do!
