 Tiller looks good so far. I normally compare the tiller with how the stave looks unbraced. Any major errors, like a hinge or weaker limb will show up in the set.

Its been quite a while to complete my first Yew bow.  The bow I backed with sinew has held up nicely. I thought it was about time to post a final update and some pics.
Pacific NW Yew. 67" NTN.  52 lbs at 28" draw.  Two layers of sinew then backed with birch bark.

That's a nice looking bow. I have a skinny yew stave I'm saving for when I get the confidence to start shaving on it.

Beautiful bow Doug.  The birch bark seems to be holding up just fine too.  Well done on this one.
