Dude, that's a gorgeous tiller, absolutely spot on, just how I reckon it should be.
BTW we don't want no steeking meteres on here... it's yards or nuttin'  ;)
If I'm allowed to be tad picky Id say the string goove is a bit near the lower egde of the horn nock, it may risk it splitting off that lower edge?

Del, thanks for your advice in this build :) that lower edge might split off but i'm just gonna keep shooting hoping that it doesn't!
(springbuck horn is probably some tough stuff)

Looks like it turned out great! I think I've seen one other bamboo backed white oak warbow and, if i remember correctly, it was well over 100#'s. I definitely think you could keep using that combo for future bows if you wanted to.
