Right limb about 2/3 from center toward the tip looks like a small hinge may be developing but it could just be my eyes playing tricks on me.  Maybe a tad stiff at the left fade other than that it doesn't look too bad.  I wouldn't rely too heavily on my advice though see what some of the experts on here have to say.

Grady I can see that same spot in the unbraced pic. That appears to be part of the profile. That tiller looks healthy to me.

I saw that too but wasn't sure if it was because the string loop was in that area or if it was really a small hump.  Like I said defer to those with more experience.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.  This will be the shortest bow I've made and one with the most radically flipped tips.

Thanks fellas!  Greg, you never know!  ;)  Kenny, I have something in particular planned for that crepe myrtle stave.  Thanks again for that!  Hedge-that bow is looking gorgeous!  Lostarrow- you got some skills!  Wow!  I agree with Pearly on your bow Gopher. It looks to me like you nailed the tiller. Josh

Got mine pretty much tillered. Still about 5 pounds over my victims max, but still have to do final sanding and get it shot in. Will try to get tip overlays on tomorrow and most of the sanding done. Still trying to decide if i want to skin it or not.
