Thank you for your responses! Good thing I didn't work on getting the area around the fades bending even more!
PatM, it was my first bow and at that point I already knew it won't reach my full draw so I saved myself some finishing work

the bending is from the fade like the others said and that's kinda worrying. its only your second bow tho, you did a better job on the handle. maybe make the transition go a bit longer but it looks good.

I will just start sanding it mainly outer 2/3 of limbs. I will also leave it stringed for several hours and shoot some arrows with it using shorter draw, say 24 inches. You are almost there.

Leaving it drawn and shooting arrows is in order to set the tiller and see how the design holds?

Leave the bow Just stringed, not drawn. It's a simple way to "train" the bow to bend. All wood self-bows get easier to be drawn longer after they are exercised.
