Didn't need any sanding on the limbs. Just the difference in location was all I needed; not sure how or why I got that lucky, but it worked. From what I can tell the bottom limb bends a bit more because of location than the top, and that was the solution I needed anyway.
That bow is beautiful Todd! I have this on my list and wondering how big of a project it is and what I need to be planning for. How many hours do you think you have into it? What did you use as a guide for getting started? Thanks for the post ... other's creations inspire me 
I'm not really sure how many hours I have into the bow: probably 30. I know it consumed me for a week; but most of that was drying time and sitting there looking at it to try and figure out a problem. My guiding hope was to create something 80% as functional and 50% as elegant as the custom bow makers produce. I think I met both goals just fine.
I leaned heavily on two forums for learning what the heck I needed to know: tradgang and pirates of archery.
