Make sure the limbs are the same thickness on each side.
Sent you a PM.

This might help if it indeed is twisting from what Roy prescribed:

That's what I sent him in the PM, 4est.

Thanks Roy and 4est.After seeing it in that light it makes sense.

Before you rasp the facets on the sides of the limbs, take a compass and scribe equal lines down the sides, that will help keep the same thickness.
