Today I reduced the limb thickness to about 5/8". One limb had a slight crook near the tip so I straightened that out with dry heat...

...after that cooled a bit it was time to begin the recurving. With some adjustments to the flrm I clamped the tip to the form and coated it with oil then began heating. As I was heating and bending a few splinters began to lift so I clamped a small block of wood to hold down the splinters as I went along...

I'll let her cool over night to insure this curve are set in place and bend the other one tomorrow.

I'll add some super glue to the splinters that lifted and sand the area smooth. If necessary I'll add a underlay to support the recurve.
