Parnell, You might be right... But I think there is a tiny bit of reflex in that section, and a tiny bit of deflex on the same place in the right limb, or? Yes, Iīm very pleased with my workshop :)
Del, yes it feels much better now! But Iīm still open for ideas to make it better!

looking good...

the left limb is slightly longer. is it the top???

the two limbs are bening to the same line now, and whilst the left limb has got a straight section around mid limb, if it is the top limb it will be weakend further when the bow is drawn from the right spot (rather than in the middle).

off set where you're pulling the string from to represent the place it will be pulled when being shot and work on it from there. no point drawing it from the centre to tiller as it wont be shot that way.

I am still a novice at tilering.  But does anything think the inner 3rd of the right limb needs a bit more bend?  Seems teh middle 3rd is bending quite a bit.  I mean I am noone to talk.  But curious.

I agree. Looks to be getting a bit whip tillered. Get the near handle wood moving out to mid limb. Jawge

Finally finished this one. 48#@29", 70" ntn, finished with tar and paraffin. And, while Iīm at it, I post some pics of another bow, hazle, 48@29, 66ntn, inspired by mollegabet. It has some propeller twist, so the tiller looks a bit odd, but when I flip it over, the odd looking limb looks better, and the other one odd. Hope I got that right. Anyway, hereīs the pics:

Par,
      Very nice. While I like them both......ya got to know this old man is a sucker for them Mollegabets.....very, very nice. Curious to know if you find the same attributes of the design as I do (and others), namely light in the hand, good speed and cast with very little to no hand shock and quiet? I've also found them to be very tolerant of miss-matched arrows.   Again, I like  ;D

Thank you!
I like mollegabets too, for a while, every time I draw out a bow on a stave, it somehow became a mollegabet. It just seems like a very good design, as you said: good cast, light, quiet and small hand shock. But to be honest, I havenīt build that many different type of bows, so itīs hard for me to say what I like best.
