In a way, I think its easier to fix something like one limb being stronger or the tiller having a stiff spot.  For me the hardest thing to do is bring a perfectly tillered bow down when its bending just right.

I am one who doesn't use only a scraper for tillering.  They tend to washboard the spring growth too much.  How do you guys avoid that?  I rasp lightly and then scrape smooth.

We always love pics David.
