Seems to me the biggest difference between bowyers is how they position the bow on the tree.
Level the handle
Level the end of fades
Level the tips

Personally I level the tips, but at brace height. I figure with hand on string ready to draw, the bowstring is going to naturally be held perpendicular to the target no matter what the handle configuration is.

I guess it's ok:)

I'd still like to see that right limb bend a bit more between the fade and that hump if possible. Other than that I'd say it's looking pretty good for a youngish old fart.

Yup it's flatter than a pancake there, Pat.

I think he's skeered to fix it:)

I'd have to grow my hair out if I was buildin those sticky bows so's I could pull it out easier...

I have some Sheep/Ram horn, I cut a piece off and boiled it for a while to soften it up and tied in some reflex on a caul so I could sand the belly side for a tip overlay.

I'm going to replicate Rattlers

I got some moose and caribou horn from a guy in Alaska.

I was wanting it for thick (1/4" +) tip overlays but it was to thin.
I found a use for it

So I worked on the fade on the right like Pat/Roy said and mid left limb, Mo Better

I've had these files for 20 years, so I picked out the one's I needed.
It took about 6 hours to shape them.
Turned out nice

Can't wait to get the skins on

Ha Ha here is a kids bow for you Kenny

Looks awesome!
Hoping you can finish tillering soon to get the skins on
