I got to tell you Clint I held up my bottle neck slide and checked out the tiller, so damn close to perfect it was hard to pick top or bottom

Looks really nice Clint.  I'm going with the first pic but it's mighty close.  Lot of bend in that bad boy!

I'm the odd duck out, but I like the second pic. Shoot whatever feels best.

Great job man.  Both look too close for me to say.  Either way bag some game with it :).  I really enjoyed this follow along, can't wait to see it dolled up.

I could care less about hitting the broad side of a barn.  I'm more interested in hitting the broadside of a deer.

Good luck trying to carry your 76" bow through the woods or into a tree stand  ;D

Nice job!  Either way looks great to me; I would go with whichever one feels better.  Maybe try a blindfold test...have someone flip it around a few times and hand it to you.  Can't wait to see it finished!

You did an awesome job with the tiller, looks superb.  I don't like anything on the handle with these types of bows.  Just plain.  One I took fabric and cut it with those jagged shears and did a tennis wracked style wrap just for something to grab.  I still like it.

Good one Clint!

I haven't thought about the handle yet Parnell.  I'll probably put some kind of wrap on it. 

I got a little bit of time to work on it today.  I thinned the last few inches of each limb and finished shaping the tips.  Then I sanded the back clean and put a sizing coat of TB3 on it.  Tomorrow I'll put the fabric snake skin backing on it.
