Fantastic job Ian! Looks perfectly tillered ready to fling arrows great distances. Nice!
Ian.:
Thanks everyone.
Noel - don't hesitate to ask for dimensions or tillering advice, keep us updated.

Ian what is the dimensions on your bow, and is a straight taper or does it go even to mid limb and then taper off?

i was just going to ask that ;D
Ian.:
The centre dimension is 38/30mm or (1.5inch/1.2inch) it stays very close to this for the middle 24" then tapers off fairly evenly to the tips, the tips are both 1/2". The bottom limb had a natural kink that I needed to be careful with so although the limbs are fairly even, the bottom limb is dimensionally smaller. The best/cleanest wood on the bow was in the middle so I tried to let that take the weight and not let the tips become over stressed.
