Final tiller
« on: November 14, 2014, 11:01:10 am »
Pretty happy with this one. Red oak board bow 70" NTN 40# @ 29". For my 14 year old cousin this Christmas. Just have to finish the nocks and put a finish on it. He is 5'9" and still has a way to go so I think he will grow into it.

To me, left limb looks stiff at mid, and the outer 3rds on both could use some scraping.  Could be the garage door though, maybe throwing off my view.

To me the top limb looks just a hair stiffer towards the tip. Could someone point me in the right direction of whether the top or bottom limb should be a little stiffer and if this might apply to this one? I can still flip the bow or tiller it out if need be.

Looks just fine to me....bottom limb is a little stiffer and could probably use a whisker off of mid limb to get a little more bend there. Likes been said many times before the main thing is how it shoots and feels in the hand at this point.
What does the back profile and unstrung look like?
