 Aewsome Ryan, Very nice bow. The detail work is excellent, as well as the profile and tiller. Good job with the contrasting reveal along the edges, and the tips tie everything in very well.  Congratulations.  ;)  Keenan

Thank you, Gentlemen!
Marius, thanks man. Tillering is easy. I use about a 10" long straight edge on the belly side of the limb to check for stiff spots and hinges and adjust acordingly. It really is that simple. The only other tip I can give you is to go slow. You can always take more off but you can put it back. Your tillering has looked just fine to me, from what Ive seen, so you must be doing something right.  ;D
