tiller help

Hi Guys,
This is a blackthorn billet ELB, 72" ntn, the bindings are to stabilise the joint (had a lot of trouble with that one) but I think they look good (bonus).  I've worked hard on softening the tips and outers but my eyes are starting to hurt.  Pictures are un-braced and at 23". Left limb is the upper. Thanks in advance

Here's my thoughts, mostly a tad stiff in the centre section?

Thanks Del; not going to be able to do too much with the centre, but, I could soften the left hand limb where it leaves the bindings. I think that when I clean up the wood (its still scuffed up by the rasp) it should bring the outers around just a tad more.

I think the inner end of the right limb is a tad stiff, you'll notice the line I drew under the centre extends further right than left, and it's at the right end of that line that I think you could ease it off a tad.

Thanks, I'll lean a little harder on the scraper when I tidy that area up
