Tiller opinion for Vine maple bow

[P. Yew]

Hey friends,

Would love some opinions on how the tiller is going for this 60" vine maple bow. It's 1.5" wide for the center 24" of the bow. Then it tapers to the tips.

Below is the unstrung bow. The bow braced at 7" and the bow pulled to 25".

Thanks in advance.

My inexperienced eyes say it looks pretty good, maybe a bit stiff in the outer on the right, the one on the left is tricky cause of that dogleg.  This looks like a bendy handle?  If so you could get the inners working more.  What draw length are you ending up at?

To me, the right outer third/half looks a bit stiff but I am also new. See what the experienced bowyers say

Thanks PC and Jeff. I can see the stiff areas where you're talking about. Yes, It's a bend in the handle design.

I'm going for a 27" draw, but I still have some weight to lose. It's 50# @ 25" and I'm fine with anything between 45 and 50 @ 27".

The left limb has been tricky, but I've been trying to keep the thickness taper consistent.

Cheers.

   I believe on the right track, when you make adjustments on the left limb stay away from the knot. until you get the section to the left of the knot bending a little more

i think it looks great,, maybe the right limb work mid limb out a bit more,, but hard to tell from the photo,, it may be perfect,,,
keep in mind you will lose some weight when you shoot it in,, you are at about 55 at 27,,, if you shoot it some more and fine tune a bit you will be at your 50,, at full draw it may shift a bit and you would have some room to tiller and keep it above 45
