It's been a while since I made a bow but trying to get back into bow building. Currently working on a laminate bow with some reflex put in toward the tips at glue-up. The back is hickory and the belly is Brazilian redwood. Since it's been a while so I'd love to have some input on the tiller from time to time. So if anyone has any input on the attached photos, please feel free to share. The stiff area on the limb that's to the right on the photo I've already identified but I'm not sure whether there are any other problem areas.
Made and bred in Holland, please return if found

Both outer limbs are stiff and the left limb is trying to hinge so stay away from there. Otherwise she's coming along nicely.   :OK
