Looks good Doug.   Yes I would agree the outers could bend a little more to my eye anyway. 

Kidder:
Awesome work! If it was me I’d get the right limb bending more mid limb and into the fade a little more. I see a slight hinge but nothing to be worried about if you’ve got weight to reduce. But looking great!
Where abouts are you located?

Doug509:
Thanks for your feedback.   I'll keep after it and work on the final tillering.   Home for me is Cliffdell, WA.

Doug509:
Was almost done with my project and she blew up on the tillering tree pulling 45 lbs .  The good limb that didnt break was Z spliced to another short stave.  That also broke while only pulling 40lbs.  Ive since tested wood moisture and everything i have is 3-5% moisture.  Maybe thats why these wonky bumpy yew bows keep breaking?

superdav95:
Ahh dang!  Thats too bad.  where did it break exactly?  inners?
