General discussions. Politics, scuttlebutt, whatever: you're getting married, changing jobs, got a gripe or a compliment, dying to get out with the bow etc.....

Actually, being a glassed bow, that amount of reverse bending has most likely not done any harm. I have very often bent my all-wood bows by that amount during heat treatment to remove string follow without the slightest problem. I bend them when they are cold and apply heat when they are tied down.
