Not sure how I feel about this one yet, new cedar bow

[Del the cat]

i love the shape and the contrasting wood handle you put on. 
i hope you were hoping for a tiller check, cause you got it in spades!

hey del: where is that tiller tree set up, a new york city alleyway?

LOL, Nope, it's in my garage in Harlow England.
Doncha love the exploded switchpoint motif on the wall?
The bathroom is above the garage and water must have leaked into the switch before we owned the property. Adds a touch of class

When you're finished making some tiller adjustments, you might want to increase your brace height a couple of inches. Try and make it about 6" from the back of the bow.

Others on here are much more qualified to comment on the bowyering.  My only thought is that you might find you get a more efficient bow if you can extend your draw length a bit, even if it costs you some of the weight.  I believe you will find you shoot the same weight arrow at the same speed, or better, if you get back to 27" and 60 pounds as you will get shooting 24" and 70 pounds, longer power stroke.  Something about the draw pic looks a little "hunched up" to me, for lack of a better term.  I like to see "relaxed" draw pics.  Just a suggestion.

Thanks for all the input guys, I have started scraping and am already seeing improvement.  I'll be sure to post some more pics as soon as I get a little more scraping done.  Thanks again all, I really cannot help but feel this is a little like a university except much more efficient in terms of actually getting students to learn.  Maybe some of our higher education facilities could take a lesson from all you great folks on here!

i agree 'ship, it's more like trade education, where other, more proficient tradesmen give you advice mid task on your craft.

ship & innocente, remember good tiller is faster than high draw weight.  develop a good eye for tiller and keep your tips light and you'll have some fast bows.   Ship thats wide limb design should handle long draw, after you scrape it down and get them limbs bending you'll probably be close to that 70# @ 27 or 28".
