This bow is giving me fits. How things are going I will not have any wood left to tiller. Actually I still have a few pounds to play with, but not much. With the reflex limb and the horizontal curves that this stave have is causing me fits. Ill reduce a stiff section then flip it around and it's bad on the other view. Any ideal? Be nice to me del I'm sensitive :laugh:

The bottom pic is left view

Mids are flat on both sides. That tiller should be more elliptical than it is. Here is a good way to approach it. You see that last 6-7" of tip where you flipped them up? The limbs should bending the same from fade to that point.
-
Right on Chris. The bow is bending too much out of the fades. Work on the last third of each limb.
-
How long is it, and how wide in the ionner limbs where it is bending too much? Defiinitely needs middle third and outer third limbs bending more.

It's 58"t/t and 1 3/8" at the fades
