Here is my latest. This is the bow for my wife's friend. I am going for 25# @ 25". Right now I have it tillered to 20", just going real slow, gaining about 1/4" with each adjustment. I have 5" more to go, what do you guys think about the tiller? comments? suggestions? criticisms?
I am seeing on the right limb that maybe the first 3" at the fade is stiff, mid is bending a bit much, and the outer 1/3 is a bit stiff. Left limb I am seeing outer 1/3 is stiff, and inner 1/3 maybe a little stiff. Am I on the right track here?
Thanks,
Michael

That's what I'm seeing :)

Do you have a tillering gizmo? If you adjust it about where the right limb intersects the window frame behind it will do a lot of marking from that point out to the tip.

Erik, I do have a gizmo... but I confess that I didn't think about it. Thanks for the reminder. I guess it has been too long since I have done any bow work
