Limb to the right is top limb, left is bottom.
It's just weird to me that a limb would be showing too weak at brace and too strong at draw! I have had this happen before, but nowhere as extreme as this.
I guess I can flip it over since I never cut in shelves. The upper limb is one inch longer, but I suppose I could trim that inch off and fiddle with tiller once I have heat treated.
Pat B:
Don't worry about the brace pic. That's part of the fun of wood bows. You are not making Swiss watches. If the full draw pic is what you are looking for just leave it as is. Looks like it's time for a few dozen shots then reevaluate. If you cut the inch off that one limb you will change the tiller.
Gordon:
Don't over think it. Tiller looks fine.

That’s what I was thinking Gordon.
How does it feel in the hand now?

Have not shot a single arrow through it. I am still going to toast the belly to raise the draw weight and do final tiller. Will keep ya'll posted.
