Here's what I see...And with all fairness without an unbraced front and side profile it is hard to critique the tiller...I see the outers working with the inner limbs...Would love to see unbraced pics bobobow...Looks like a screamer...That's some bend on Black Locust!

The full draw looks a little like a Molly profile to me?  :-\

Molly bend is what I was thinking too, if thats the case, I don't see anything wrong with it. Nice Bow!

Wow thanks for all the feedback, it is really helpful to get so many perspectives, It is just nice to know so many share the love of making these darn things, I will post a unbraced shot soon been traveling now for a few days.  it is really a joy, I have broken more than I have completed, and for those who have had one really explode! It is truly amazing and scarey!  They really do go boom!  Anyhow thanks for your input.  cant wait to post my nest one, a yew flat bow.....
