Nice Full Draw....but Like Dana Said....and you could use to round them there edges some....Would hate to see it pull up a big Splinterr.....and maybe do some mods to the Tips....make em purdy....and shapely....but as for the Tiller....looks really nice.....I like it....cause I like em simple.....all they have to do is Shoot Straight....and Hit Hard!!!!

looks good.  i think i would flip her over from looking at the full draw pic.  the bottom limb looks to be bending a shade more than the top.

A great looking bow partner. If you want criticism we can get really picky. You could have narrowed the tips down another 1/32".  ;D Justin

Can't criticize a tiller like that - looks good!

You got a 53" NTN piece of yew to bend to 26" draw!!!!!!!!! You are my hero! Real nice arc tiller and use of the entire length for working bow. Well done.
