Ho-humm, another perfectly tillered bow from Brian.
Seriously, another beauty! You are my standard bearer for tillering - what I strive for in my learning curve.
I even copied your tillering board grid.

Thanks everyone.
Jim, I have about 35 that I have built and always left the tips straight, so I thought I would broaden my scope a little bit and flipped the tips on the last 2. I have not been able to shoot tons since I did due to recovering from finger surgery, but what I have been able to shoot, I’m not noticing a big difference in performance. I could be wrong though?

Burnsie, thanks, but I’m not sure I should be your “ gold standard”. There’s lots of guys here with hundreds more bows than me, and way better. But hope one day maybe, I can step up to their abilities and quality.

I don’t know how I missed this one Brian. Very nice work.

I gotta agree. I like the tiller. Nice profiles.

Thanks to everyone. I had a hard time voting myself because there were several bows I would have put ahead of mine. The competition is definitely getting strong.
