Nice bow! Looks like the bottom limb is a little weak and the top could bend a little more out of the fades up to that natural whoop-de-do. Could be everything is just fine as those whoop-de-doos tend to make tillering look a bit off.

I think that upper limb fade area is bending more than it appears in the full draw pic.  Check out the unbraced pic again.

Thanks for sharing the nice pics Weylin.  Beautiful work all around.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Beautiful bow, I THINK the problem with the full draw pics is your knocking point seems way to high on the string which is giving a illusion of tiller being off. I shoot three under, and when I draw it looks slightly off even to myself in a pic, but on a tree dead on! Nice bow!

Thank you, everyone for the kind words, it always means a lot coming from this crowd.

Bryce, yes this is the bow I let you try and break.  ;) I'm glad you like how it shoots.

Steve, Thankfully that was an isolated incident.  :-\ Oh, and thanks for the stave!

@ Eric, Carson and Brian, I think Brian is right that my nock point is too high. I'm a lefty and was pulling this bow right handed and everything about it felt funny. I'm sure there were a few things I was doing wrong, form wise. I can see what you're looking at when you say that, Eric but I think the combination of the character in the wood, the angle of the shot and the high nock point are contributing to the photo looking a bit off. In all of the other situations that I've agonized over this tiller by myself and with other bowyers it has come out looking and feeling just right.
