Beautiful bow with an excellent looking tiller. Badger has said that avoiding set is key to making fast bows (and he should know), so your goal here is not necessarily incompatible with more speed.

willie:
 nice work!

Estimating a weight goal to tiller to, for a given width, working limb length and wood type is the expertise that separates good bowyers from the great ones. I like your approach to developing the knack.

jameswoodmot:
Thank you all! Thanks for the encouragement

Of all the various shapes and sizes of bows I could try next I still keep coming back to this design, maybe a more traditional one next time without the flipped tips and arrow shelf

bjrogg:
I agree with the others. Very nice bend.
