Juniper/Sinew early tillering. What do you think?

Ya what Hamish said is bang on imo. Mid limb on the right is little stiff compared to left. Levelling up the bow on your tree helps visualize too like said. This should turn out to be a sweet looking bow!

Yep. Got them bending evenly now and I'll start pulling more weight. Thanks, guys.

I love that snake skin you got on there! And those recurve look beautiful. I hope this bow becomes a deer slayer!!
I see your target weight and draw is 55# at 27" i can't really tell in the picture how long the bow is but I'm assuming it's at least 55"? If shorter than that sadly you won't be getting a 27" draw. Juniper and sinew are great but they don't do well in overstressed builds(I'm assuming you've had an explosion?) They can blow up so violently hahaha one of mine blew up and left a huge gash in my nose. Anyway one more thing is that if it is only 55" you may want to get the handle section to SLOWLY start bending a little more. I say slowly because it is so very easy to go too far. If 55" you'll just want every part of that bow bending evenly to get your full draw length,otherwise...explosion. if it's closer to 58" you can probably get away with the tiller you have though.
WhistlingBadger:
Pierce--it's 61" ntn, so I think I should be OK.
Here is is now. Looks like the curves are pulling out more than I wanted, but at least they seem to be pulling fairly evenly. This thing is really acting like it wants to spit an arrow. Need to get it to full draw, but don't want to rush it.
Anybody have any thoughts or advice?
