Very nice job,after all the fine comments I hate to say this but the bottome limb looks a little stiff to me right out of the fad and just before the reflex starts. If you have any weight to give I would take a few scraps there,if not shoot the heck out of it. Love that design.  :)

Thanks pappy!:-) I have bout 5# to play with and after a bunch of sanding and mass reduction the tiller will change a bit.this is kinda a fickle design to tiller and after shooting for an hour last evening the tiller has migrated a little.I like to shoot my bows a bit before final tiller to let bad things happen early on !lol! Rough tiller mass is 17.2 oz

I think thats a very nice piece of workmanship there. That bow says smooth all around, great profile and sweet bend. Well done  :)
