Here is how the bow turned out.  The tiller looks pretty good to me. 

Let me know what you all think.

Be proud of that. That tiller is excellent and shows your natural skill as a new bowyer. How long is it again? Have you shot it yet?

66" NTN.  Right now its #57@28". 

I have shot it probably 100 -120 times in the last two days.  It shoots Pretty nice with a light 'thump' at the bottom.  I made a makeshift wedge shelf and just wrapped it to the handle using tennis racket wrap for now.  If everyhting holds together, when I finish it I will make a custom wedge and glue it on the riser and probably use a leather wrap to cover it up.

The tiller didn't change yesterday after about 60 shots, and I maybe it didn't change after this mornings exercise.... it still felt good during the shot.  I was going to let it rest and recheck the tiller this afternoon.  I am thinking if it held for that many shots, the limbs are "home".

scrubbuck thats a nice looking tiller on that stick
but if it was mine i think i would flip it over and see how it shoots,looks to me like the upper limb is stiffer.
but thats just me.
no matter what its a nice bow,congrats

Way to go - I don't think you have to worry about it holding - looks solid as a rock.
