Looking good! Really like that stain job. You shooting that thing outside in all this snow?

She looks gorgeous Bill!  I've made a few Sudbury styles, not many but a few.  I had trouble with handshock until I started carrying the bend all the way to the tips.  Of course, too much bend in the outers and it'll take set quick.  Just a thought.  Josh

Great looking bow, Bill! really nice stain job and tiller looks also great.
Shock: as others said, the bow is relative long, probably not so much bend in handle area and more whippy.
If possible you could test out changing your grip (and nocking point of course) a little up or a little down, in case of uneven return speed of the limbs. Just a thought ...
