Take my advice with a grain of salt, but it looks like the outermost bit of both limbs could bend just a hair more.

Looks pretty solid to me, classic shape. I think right of the upper fade might use a couple scrapes. Outer thirds seem a hair stiff, but its nearly impossible to judge a tiller without seeing the unbraced profile as well.

Exactly. I don't offer tillering advice without first studying the unbraced profile.... and I wouldn't want anyone offering advice to me if they hadn't done likewise.
