The only critique I can come up with is in the form of praise! Great job on your bow!  ;)

Only thing I see wrong is that you need a few knots in those limbs! ;D Really nice looking bow.Congrats on a fine job.

Clean billets, great bow.

Constructive criticism, as mild as it is, tie a nock point on the string and use an arrow, and anchor asif you were shooting when you show full draw.  You can actually pull a bow out of tiller, or so I've heard, by not being careful on how it's drawn. 

I know I've handed a bow to the ill informed and got it back a minute later w/ an extra 1/2" of string follow.  Don't do that much anymore.

Nice job.  I love sleeved bows for the weight.  But sleeves have a tendancy to be either loose in the dry or tight in wet weather, but we have extremes of humidity change here prehaps unlike others.

I really like the bow. After looking at yours I've decided I'll have to make one of those for myself.

My only critque is that I haven't done that, yet.  You should be proud of your work.
