Tiller check please:
Eastern woodland style mulberry, 63" ntn
1 3/8" at fades , 1 1/4" at handle ,  3/4" at tips (will likely narrow tips down)
Last pic is drawn to 21" - right limb is to
All input welcome, have very little weight to spare at this point though I could pike it later, looking to get 27" draw.
Thanks, Greg

Badly, If it were me I'd probably get it bending a little more in the outer limb but I think Eastern woodland bows do have the tiller you're at. That's a cool bow.

Very cool bow for sure. I agree that maybe a tad more limb could work, say 2-3"? I made an osage bow similar and it took a bit of set in the handle as a result. Thats the only reason I think it could bend a bit more.

tiller looks perfect to this newby greg  ;)

alright time to get serious and no more messing around with you guys....time to bust into the good stuff....im going for a stiff handled molly curve...I think this stave will be perfect for it....super clean,mostly straight(string alignment is dead nuts),and a perfect side profile set up for the deflexed handle   8)    if I pull this off its gonna be saweeet!!!!!  :)

Thanks ryoon & pearl drums, I think I'll narrow the last 8" to 9" and thin some in the outer thirds then throw it back up on the
tree. Appreciate the advice.

Hey Blackhawk, a molly curve is something I don't have :( If you have my name that'll work just perfect for me.

I think the outers are good.  Especially if you got no weight to spare. I like mine a little stiffer than some last 5 inches or so.  Looks good.

Kelley, needs some scraping on both sides of that hingy spot just outboard of that knot on the right and on the inner 2/3 of the left limb.
Greg that Mulberry looks real nice. Like the veterans said, outer limbs (mostly the right to my eyes). Gus, I'm quite taken with that piece of wood also...looks like it's got nipples   ;D That's the thing with this bow trade thing.....I'm coveting everything I see....

Good to see you making a molly curve Chris, not only will someone get a fine bow, but a blueprint of what can be done with that design.
