Dang it, son! here we go again. ::) The key words here is "I've never done one". The tiller is not off, look at the positioning of the hand grip compared to the center of the bow. The bottom limb is now shorter and is shorter. At least you're asking questions ;).

 Really nice looking bow and looks fast.

I took note of this bow back when Randman posted it on the Trade Bow thread. I thought that this was a great way of using Ocean Spray to get around the short straight sections. It makes a whole lot more OS staves useable. Randman, was there any particular problems with making a bow with the big swoop in the middle?
Thanks
Don

A properly tillered bow does not bring the limbs around into matching arcs. What a propper tiller does do is stress the same part of each limb equally. So allowing for each limb to have different front and side profiles, the tiller profile will also be diferent. When you can tiller a bow like that, thats when you have really mastered the craft.

Ocean spray is pretty fun stuff, what an awesome way to use that big knotty bump in the middle!
