Got some heat treating done. At first it looked hideous because i heat treated it across a stove, but after some long string tillering the schorch marks pretty much disapeared. There's a deflex part right out of the fade on the right limb and a little deflex elbow on the left limb out at mid-limb.

Lookin good! Love that hackberry. I think we should make a thread about why hackberry is king!  ;D You know if you hot box the bow, you don't have to burn the crap out of it and it will take very little set if any at all afterwards. (that is if you hot box it before you tiller) Although it is not the same as heat treating of course.

 the part that has too little is increased."
