Positive tiller check, please?

[Stickhead]

Here's one I'm trying with a slighly shorter bottom limb, to give it the positive tiller effect.  I've never done this before, but I figured I'd try it since I shoot 3 under.  I think I'm done tillering, but since it's a tad assymetrical, I'd like to get a better opinion.  I can spare a few pounds if I need to tweak it.  What do y'all think?

Actually tiller looks good with that type of circular bend, why are you draw anchoring to your ear?

Looks pretty good to me,if anything the top looks like it is a little flat out of the fads,the bottom also just not as much,at least the way I usually tiller them,it seem just a little wipped end. If you like the weight I would leave it as is. Sweet looking bow.

Horse - I usually draw pretty deep to compensate for my stubby arms.  This is a little farther than my norm, because I might end up giving this to a friend with a longer draw (28" vs. my 26"), so I wanted to see the bend at a longer draw.

I agree with Pappy, looks a little stiff out of the top fade. If ya don't have a shelf on it, I'd flip it over. Nice looking bow though. Got anymore pics??

That'll work bud.

  I agree with PAPPY I like to leave the tips alittle stiffer last 4 or 5 inchs.This helps to with hand shock. I also like to tiller as far i nto the hanndle as you can.Use all the limb you can this helps with stress on you limbs and helps ilimate the set in your bow.
  It look's SWEETTTTT those two things will help on your next bow.

I like it. I like a little more bending close to the fades but that's a personal preference. Jawge

Thanks for the advice, guys.  I guess I'll do like the Beatles and let it be.  Wouldn't want to turn it into a kid's bow by messing with the fades at this point.

My advise to you also, just take the points from all above and try it on your next bow, its all about what you like and have success in doing.

What is the wood in this bow?

[Stickhead]

Oldbow, It's an Osage selfbow.  it's 65" NTN, around 65 lbs @ 26".  I'll probably post it once I finish.
