I think it is too hard to tell from photos when you are that close to spot on tiller.  That said, that area on upper limb, mid-limb right about where your lightswitch cover plate almost touches the bow looks a touch stiff.  It might like fine viewed from the other side.  How does it feel in the hand? 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

That tiller looks pretty good to me.  Photos don't tell the whole story.  I would shoot it and see how it goes.  If it stings the hand,  I might take a few scrapes at that upper limb,  like was suggested.  Looks like a shooter to me.  Good job.

It came in just over 50# at 28". 55" bow and it is holding its shape very well when unbraced after 100's of arrows. It is picky about arrows though, but once I figured the right length and spine it was banging nocks in the target.

Looks killer! I like the looks of that bow from every angle, what type of skins are those on the back?
