The left limb looks pretty good but the right looks like it's bending more mid limb. What was the approx. draw weight at that distance?

ya im trying to take that slight hinge out a little at a time to keep as uch weight as i can, im not exactly sure of the weight, as it stretches the tillering string too much to acuratly reed it. it at where im guessing it will be braced at, but my clossest estimate at the point its pulled to is around 50-60, which sounds right for the brace height of this weight bow, i might be wrong though on the weight, im not the most experienced as far as who many bows iv'e made

fish I think the first thing you need to consintrate on is getting those limbs bending with an even arc and both limbs bending even then get that hog on a short string. I have never used shellac so I cant give ya any info on that except you can get it at most hardware paint sections but the finish is a long ways off and as others have said take one thing at a time as you have a ways before a finish will be applied . It looks like the right limb still has a small hinge in it from what I can see ??? so correct that first then make sure both limbs are pulling even. Are you pulling from the center of the string in the last pic? might just look off because of the angle that the picture was taken ??? I am sure someone with a better eye will weigh in here soon.

Thats looking better, I don't know what your plan of action is but if it was me I would leave the tips alone until its braced now just remove a little from the right side of the centre.

Ash needs a water proof finish shellac is good, you can get plastic coat spray cans that work but it depends if you want to go a bit more traditional.

Well done keep it up
