Ok so third day on bendy handle trying to use brick behind my tree to help me tiller yes it's not the best I know
I see now on the right side the slight hinge in the pictures. How does it look? This is the third bow attempt. First bendy handle.

Other than that hinge it looks pretty good. Mark a big x on that hinge and then scraper out toward the nocks, exercise 10 times or so and test the bend.
Don't pull it much further than shown and fix it before stringing it.
Have fun.

Where are you guys seeing the hinge, two mortar joints to the right of the post?

You guys have better tillering eyes than me. I see a stiff spot about 8" off the fade on the right, its about 4" long.

Looks good so far Ryan, just deal with those minor tillering issues and I think it'll be good at that draw length.

Looks like a slight hinge just after the right fade

I thought I saw one about 8 inches from the right nock but I think the brick wall was playing tricks on my eyes. Jawge

Like pearl said on the fade, i also think its a little stiff from where you think there is a hinge i don't see a hinge but I'd scrape the outer about six times and check it

Beautiful work Ryan. I have something to shoot for now.
Who knows we might have to compare after completion. Keep up the amazing work.

All I see is the flat spot on the right limb near the nock.

I think it's looking pretty good! When I get a hinge the first thing I do is take some from the other side. I'd say weaken the left side middle to outer limb and that hinge should ease up. your on the right path!

The only thing I see that resembles a slight hinge is 6 mortar jonts to the right of the post. The mortar joint goes right through it and might just be a slight optical illusion.
