i've stared too long, is the upper third of the upper limb stiff? is there a slight hinge just below the handle? thanks, Dan.

dan i was just looking at this on the other site where you posted it

i was going to tell ya then that you should look at the tiller from both sides if it has the kind of charcter you mentioned
i usually take a pic,then flip the bow and take another pic and then compare the tow of them
i even run them thru windows paint whee you flip the pic resize it and overlay and eleiptical shape to help check the tiller

the bottom limb looks to have some twist to it causing the look of a hinge
could we also see a pic of it at brace and unbraced.
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

Yes, lower limb seem to twist a bit.
Compared to the same spot on the lowwer limb, upper limb bends too much 4-6" up from the riser.
Upper mid limb shopuld bend more, too.
Overall tiller looks good to me!
