I've been so busy I haven't done much with the bow! I worked a little bit more last night. Finally built myself a tillering gizmo. Left limb is almost all even except for the tip, which is a little stiff. Right limb is still stiff obviously...
Anything I should be doing?

I think just even out the limbs and get it braced up.
Cabinetbowguy's trilam looks awesome in person with the tru oil on. And shoots real good too. I'll let him post all his details about it. I'd be more than happy to call it mine.

David. Don't worry about the tips not bending. Get that right limb bending like the left. Scrape the flat areas that your gizmo shows you on that right limb. Then once you get that limb bending the same as the left. Then post some more pics and let's see it

Cabinet, I remember that bow from right after the trade started.  I was surprised how quickly you were done with it.  It really looks nice. Someone will be lucky to get that bow.

Nice bow cabby...cant wait to get my hands on it! ;)  Hoping to letter mine sometime this week and add a couple coats of finish.  I also want a little quality time with her before we part ways.  Im working on finishing up my stave shed so at least im still feeding the hobby.

David - good advice has already been given...it looks like it is coming along just fine.  Be careful not to stress it too much before you get the limbs bending equally.  And then never pull more than your desired final weight nor pull past a potential problem in the limb.

CBG - that trilam looks nice, you did good!  I wish it was coming my way, but the specs don't match mine  :'(.

Enjoy the hunt!  Mitch

I finally got the arrow pass inleyed and shaped. And a first coat of tru oil over the wood. I LOVE the colors in this bow after just one coat. Once it's fully coated and polished it'll be hard to send away.
