willie:
william, the video did not work for me but the first one did.

William M.:
Really? For me the link works. :-\

I gonna re-upload it later

RyanY:
With that little amount of bend I’d still have it at the floor tiller stage. Looks like it’s bending more in the handle and inner limbs. If you’re pulling it on the tiller tree make sure that the bow is balanced with the tips even with the handle. Looks like it’s sitting at an angle with the left tip higher than the right.

William M.:
I have taken more away  qith the rasp since it's already at 80# while not bending at all. I guess I have plenty of room taking more wood away. Its around 31mm in the handle now I guess i can take it to 29 at it should work   :-\
It´s weighing around 1100g now

This is how it looks now.

The right outer limb might be stiff and the left middle one. What do you think?

willie:
Its a bit hard to tell until its bending more. If it is bending more in the center at this point I would be cautious about removing too much from the middle at this point

removing materiel from the middle third creates more apparent tip deflection, but will get you in trouble later, thats' because the bow will want to bend more at the handle than anywhere else when you get it out towards full draw.

find a pic of a well tillered warbow at brace for a reference curve.   how thick are the tips? somewhere around  1/2 of the 31mm? the taper needs to even from center to tip at this point.

another trick is to draw an ellipse on a piece of cardboard for reference. do you know the string and nail method for drawing one out?
