Definitely do not take sinew off. If you need to make it bend more just take more wood off the belly very slowly. It is very very easy to remove too much wood when tillering a high reflex juniper bow. Once you get past that snap back point the bow doesnt have as much draw weight as you think. Thats actually one of the things that makes sinew backed juniper bows so darn powerful haha. Kinda straightens the draw weight curve out a bit.

It gets even stronger when they go off to college. Granddaughters are precious

What brace height did you string it at?

You need to get it to the point where it can be strung at a decent brace height, at least 4". If you try and use a loose string or a low brace height even a moderately reflexed bow will want to "flip".

I am gonna grill a big fat rainbow trout filet when I get home from work. It came off one of those huge fish I have been dragging out of the lake this fall and the ONE filet is almost a pound and a quarter! And I intend to serve it up with mashed taters, green bean casserole, and dressing!

Next, out of an abundance of caution, I want to remind everyone to be diligently safe this year. The main thing to remember is that once you get that plate loaded LIFT WITH YER LEGS AND NOT YER BACK!

Back at you, guys.  Hope your day is peaceful and fun. 

It's just me, the wife and kid this year, since we recently fought off a bout of whooping cough and the elderly relatives decided to keep their distance.  We had elk stroganoff for a main dish.  Berry cobbler and a fresh salad to round it out.  Unlike turkey, we're actually looking forward to the leftovers!   Shot a few arrows in the backyard, took a nap, worked on a bow out in the garage.  Now eavesdropping on the Badgerling talking on the phone with my dad.  There's a special bond between old guys and teenage grand daughters. 

Back at you, guys.  Have a peaceful, friend- and family-filled day.
