Lost a little recurve in the left limb. I’ll need to do something with that before I continue.

Took another look at my stave and watched a clay hayes video addressing my staves issues. You've rekindled my efforts. Good work.

Thanks, Clay Hayes has done a great job explaining the self bow process. I watch his videos and have his book.
