i use an even thickness to ruff mine out, and leave the tip's a little stiff, build yourself a tillering gizmo that will help, especially with a straight stave or a board, Bub

for a 29" draw, 66" ttt, 1 3/4"w @ the fades, taper to half inch tip's, and just under a half inch thick to start, you can get up to a 60# bow with this and a good pc of white oak or hickory or hard maple
also 2" fades and 4" grip, good luck if ya need help dont hesitate, Bub

I just finished up a redoak pyramid. 45lbs at 28". You have any good pictures showing how the tiller should look at full draw? Mines pretty even and shoots great. Just haven't seen many pyramids to compare. Circular or eliptical tiller?
