Okay - I had to look up on the WWW, what "rumbled" means. I think you are asking if you have been "found out"...as in, you have called it a flat bow, but it is might be something else.
That was not my intent. Regardless of what you have called it, I'm just curious about the cross sectional shape, and overall layout of the back and belly.
I think the tiller is just superb, and I'd like to mimic it if I can.
Cheers,

Well it's rectangular cross section (with the corners rounded of course), and now the little secret is out I'll give you any measurements you want!
BTW it's glued with hide glue.
Making that tiny string was a real pain, it's a continuous loop string made from half a strad of Dacron, served with sewing thread.
Tiller is much easier to adust than a full size bow as a few strokes with a file do the job.
I'll have to make a scale arrow and see how she shoots.
The scale is a nominal 3.5 : 1
So the dimensions I gave in earlier posts were scaled up.
