Joe, Looks much better than my first attempt by a long shot. Great Job.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

PS:

It's a very nice first bow, certainly tiller is not perfect, but leave it alone and build your next one. Yes, do a stave, that will be a great learning process.
You may want to post pics of the tillering process, and the guys here will lead you through it!

What's wrong with the tiller? ...

Didn't say something was wrong, I said it's not perfect. I'm not perfect either, so feel free to tell different.

No need for anyone to get testy  :-[. I know it isn't perfect, and I didn't take it as a jab at me. Thanks for all the reviews. Good bad or indifferent. They all help. It is shooting well. I reserved the string with some serving material last night. More shots to come.
