To my eyes it looks like there's a stiff spot from around the centre to 8" out on the right limb, and POSSIBLY (not sure though) its bending a bit too much after that point (kinda where the white paint is on that beam) but you're a far better bowyer than I could hope to be, so it might be just my inexperience talking there.
Either way, it looks fast, and she's damn pretty.

:), thank you. I think your right. Kinda like it's bending too much in the center of the right limb? Although with you saying bullcrap like this:
"you're a far better bowyer than I"
..than it is a bit daunting to trust your judgement, :). The last bow you made looked to me a hell of a lot better job than I did with this one, and that one was fighting you the whole way and than some! I do think your right about the stiff spot. It doesn't seem like it's bending a bit too much in the very center to anybody? Maybe the tiller tree is playing tricks on my eyes.
WillS:
Maybe. It's bending a bit, but I'm sure there are bowyers out there who deliberately tiller for that. I think the proof is in the shooting, you can stand around debating tiller shape forever but heck, if it spits arrows well then you've done your job right.
FWIW I just had an ash warbow blow up on me. 110# looking close to finished and it exploded in my hands. So I'm sticking by my statement ;)

:) Thank you! I have just been making a lot of laminates lately. I am not sure what to make next, I get bored easy I guess. I wanna try to flip the tips on my next laminate elb, just to try to do something different. I guess I will wrap the stave from the ends to the center with inner tube bands, and flip the ends in slight recurve forms?

Greta looking bow, i love the tiller shape as well.
