I think I can tentatively call this bow a success.  I tillered it to full draw today and took about 50 shots and had no issues.  It ended up around 40# at 28", which I'm happy with.  It's probably just my excitement but it seemed to shoot quite fast.  It has some hand shock but it's not so bad considering that the tips are pretty wide.  I'll put the finishing touches on it and post it in a new thread soon.

Take some mass from the tips, whatever you can afford, and that will reduce your hand shock.  Tiller is looking real nice.
