Hickory Dickory Tiller Check

JW_Halverson:
In order to get the same amount of bend in each limb, the braced tiller means the lower limb (left side) bends more. Kinda bugs me.

But I have a little more than an inch less bend on the lower limb at full draw. And once again, my eye has grown weary of looking at this tiller and I am eaten up with mistrust at what I am seeing.

This is a pyramid design so I am working on a more circular tiller for the design. Can I get your input, brothers and sisters?

JW_Halverson:
Oh, and because I meant to be scraping on the lower limb and ended up scraping on the upper limb, I ended up dumping a fair amount of weight in final tillering. That just sealed the deal and I intend on toasting the limbs next to raise a little more weight from the bow. That means I will be looking at another final tillering session, so we have some wiggle room left here.

Pat B:
John, do you have a shelf cut in? If not, flip the bow making the top the bottom and vice versa.  ;D
Which limb is top in the full draw pic?

superdav95:
JW.  On the edit function on my pictures I superimposed circles inside your bends and to me it looks like the right tip could bend slightly more to match the left.  Looks pretty darn good to me!   I might do what pat said and flip it and make it your top limb. 

Pat B:
Proper tiller is what you have at full draw and not necessarily at brace.
