I used photo shop to make the comparison to left and right limb tiller.What do you see? The left limb is least transparent.

I can kinda see what John is talking about now. I didn't see anything wrong at first. It looks great to me. I think you should flip the tips or pike it. I don't think it needs both. Maybe a little sinew added. But even if you did nothing else I would be proud to own this bow.

So you'll be sending it out to me soon?  ;)

Looks to me like you need to raise your photoshopped overlay up a tad to me.  Here's how I see it.

But John,,, In my pic the strings are lined up and in yours it's off. Oh well,,, I took your advice touched up the tiller a bit more or made it a bit worse??? Seems when I flipped the tips, one held a bit more than the other.
Anyways I finished it off today and this is what I got.

62" 49# @ 28" Light walnut staining to bring out the grain. Leather handle & floppy rest.

 
 
 
 
 

This crack was caused when I split the stave and there is no sign of it on the back of the bow.
 

Okay John,,, please do this one on photo shop. It took me about 3 hours on the last one as I know nothing about that program. Post the results photo here as I want to see. I bet I only made it worse???

She looks good to me, Joe. I love that circular tiller.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

I am simply offering an opinion and some photo editing.  I am far from expert.  I was at Cloverdale this weekend and showed my trade bow to Ed Scott from Owl bows.  There was something that was bothering me on the tiller but I couldn't put my finger on it.  He recognized the problem right away and offered REAL sound advice.  We all see things in different ways and through collaboration lift each other's efforts above what they could be on their own.
