Your tiller shape should match your front profile. Right now you have more of a circular bend, which would be appropriate for a pyramid profile. You should have more of an elliptical bend for the alb profile you have on this bow.

Also when making stiff handled bows, your fades shouldn't end so abruptly, they need taper out further.

Id like to see the first 8-9" off the grip move more, both limbs.

That's a tough tiller. It is hard for me to see what is going on in that right limb.
It does not appear that mid limb to nocks is moving but  I can't tell for sure.
But it needs to and you need to watch that area closely.
Left limb looks good. The rest of the right limb looks good.

Yes george. That area may indee a tad stiff but it is moving. I was trying ro be super mindful of that area because of the wave right there. Thats why im consulting the pros.

hard to tell but have you rounded the limbs yet? the edges look pretty sharp. you'll lose a good bit of poundage rounding everything so keep that in mind. cool looking stave though
