here is the thrilly the thrilly design. Shoots pretty good i say. think I'll put double rest on the handle, fletchings fell like thier slitting my hand.
Left a bit of Deflex so as to add a bit more weight/Stiff? when I tention the cord,that gonna be the tricky part, maybe I should just forget the cord . I'll keep ya up do date here, no Build along yet.

Well I came to a conclusion, Those Hints you guy were telling me made me think Hmmm I only would use cording if the wood was a softer more unstable wood so I decided forget the cord back this thing shoots like an eagle on a fish.
I just put some rests on the sides and call it finist

Nice job.  I would only add that when I tiller I use set to determine how much stiffer the lower limb needs to be, preferably working the bow by actually shooting it, shortened draw when appropriate.  Our objective is to balance the load, even if it looks uneven on the tree.  Beautiful bow.  I'm guessing in the one picture posted where it is unstrung the lower limb is on the right?  I'm guessing the upper may have a smidge more set?  Beautiful bow.

The tiller looks great on that one PK. My only suggestion would be to narrow and round the handle somewhat to make it more comfortable to shoot.

For some reason with hickory Ive been getting a better tiller with the side boards instead of the center even grain, why is that?
