Howdy Benvse,

First, you're on the right track.
 
It looks as though you got it bending throughout much of the limbs, and they're both bending evenly or equal amounts.

From your second picture, I'd say, you should focus on removing wood from the mid-limb area a little more for now.

So, what is the length, and draw length and weight of this bow? (Xpounds@X")

Keep at it, and go slow,

Nice looking bow.  Looks like a nice piece of osage. I agree with Jawge and Canoe. Go slow and exercise the limbs between scrapping and you should do fine.
