Took Steves advice and narrowed the limbs smoothly and equally and i "think" I'm there. ..

That's looking real good. I would say your patience and persistence has paid off.

Nicely done!  I'd get an arrow shot and bask in the glory of your first bow.
Ya done good.  It seems like a bow could be tweaked and primped over for just about ever.

On the tiller tree it shows 51.3#@28"... i will not pull it further on the tree because it makes me nervous. .. i have pulled it numerous times to my 29.5-30" goal and i would guess it's right at 53~55ish...

I'm gonna mark it 52@29.5 and call it good...

I want to pass out a heartfelt thank you to everybody that has given me the very helpful advice that got me across the finish line especially you Steve. .

now I just need 15 more coats of tru-oil on it and 5 of wipe on polyurithane
