I noticed how that knob on the bottom limb near the tip almost looks like it has a little backset. I'm sure that's caused because it just doesn't want to bend there. I usually have to squint real hard when I'm tillering  a character bow so I can see the true arc.

There might have been a bit of reflex there,  It's been 2 or 3 years now and the memory is not as good as it used to be plus I don't have any other pictures to jog it.
