Okay so I got my hickory stave roughed out and I believe I'm getting close to floor tillering. I ran a chalk line down my bow and noticed that it tends to run about 1/4 to 3/8" closer to the shelf side of the bow than the center. Should I try to steam this out so it's dead down the center or should I just leave it be and let the string make it more centershot? Lol

It looks like the tips are a bit wide yet. I'd narrow them by removing wood on the side the string favors, which will move the centerline over, and see where it is then.
If after being braced, which is when you really know how the string lays over the bow, the string has moved off of the handle, I'd adjust it then with dry heat, not steam.

Erring towards the shelf when you have a defect is actually mentioned by Gary Davis on his DVD.

I wouldn't worry about that just yet. If you have an issue, you can use some heat later on. It's a small enough lean, that a heat gun will work if need be. I hate to steam hickory unless I'm putting serious curves in it.
