I think the tiller is good so far?

This is 24 inches. The pics look wacky for some reason. gizmo and the yard stick say its right. About right so far for a flat bow huh?

I don’t see any weak spots.   Looks good to me.  
Are you at full brace?

Looks good man. Trust the gizmo.  It don’t lie.  
You may be able to take a little off from right out the fades but wait to see what it looks like at full brace before doing that.

The riser continues another inch for a total of 14 inches. The glued on part is only 12.

John, you'll get over that feeling at some point in the future when you don't have any more room to store it.

Yeah John, you quit your job?  Full time bowyer now?  You are cranking those out.  
I agree with your signature, just make sure not to waste time with non-bow wood.  That's time you could have spend with good bow wood. For you that's like 8 hrs of your day!

I'm kinda lucky this time of the year with time for things I enjoy. That comes to a screeching halt in a couple months.
