Lots of pics Justing. Just dont be too timid with it, thats another great way to make 30# bows. Heat tempered elm is tough, dont be scared to bend it some. Gizmos are fine, but any 5-6" long straight edge will work. When the gap skinnys you scrape that area. Once you can run that scraper down the belly from fade to 8" shy of the tips without that gap changing, your tillered. You should try to get it tillered out by 15-16" of draw. That way you can land on any poundage you want and not miss it by a pound. Trust that gap you see, it rarely lies to you.
