Tiller critique

[VicNova]

Here is a bow I recently finished the tiller is fine but I think it could be improved. I was thinking that it could have been worked down a little bit more towards the fades and a tad more towards the tips, but I'm not 100% on that. Please give me your honest analysis. Thanks

1.75"  near grip tapering to 1/2" nocks

Not knowing what the unbraced profile looks like, it's hard to say. But what I see is alot of bend mid limb and not quite enough in the fades or towards the tips. The two limbs look even with each other though. I'm curious to hear what others think.

in addition to the unbraced pic, a "front profile" pic would help or a description of how wide the bow is at various points.

I agree, not enough bend in the outer limbs, especially the left, and right by the fades, nice bow though, what's the specs?

[twisted hickory]

+1 on bending not enough near the fades and out towards the tips.
I am tillering one my self. Hope to be putting finish on it before spring turkey season starts up here in pennsylvania.
Looks great other than that. I would put meat on the table

Yup same as what the others say, outer limbs and fade area need more bending.

[missilemaster]

Fades and tips. Not knowing your front view its hard to say, but if you are wide near the ends, you could reduce width rather than thickness.

If it's a pyramid profile, then the tiller isn't ideal... but if the first 10-12" of the limbs are parallel then it's good.

First pic... pyramid bow. Even taper to tips. More round tiller.

Second pic... first 12" of limb is parallel, then tapers evenly to the tips. More elliptical tiller.

Thanks Adb, I think this type of comparison in tiller is more helpful to a new guy than any advise.
Again, Thanks for sharing.

Too much bend in the mid-limbs, not enough near the tips and fades.
