Looked a little hingy at the fade on your tillering tree picture but the tiller looks GREAT on the money shot picture. One thing, it is a bad idea to leave an island of wood around pins as this is a grain violation that may come back to haunt you. Your back should be one ring, no islands.

And just to clarify, this is not only my first Osage build, its my first bow build ever, the Elm character bow was my second build.
