it does look a little stiff about 8" or so off the bottom of your hand, not a lot just a few scrapes
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

I like it Carson. Now you got me scared. I'm currently building a 55" bendy pyramid. My first bendy and my shortest bow to date. Your tiller looks killer. I'm sure Bubby is right, his tillers are always right on. I could'nt find a flaw with it myself. Look forward to seeing the finished product.  Danny
