Still looks flat just outside the fades.

This could just be my inexperience showing, but is the right fade a lot more gradual than the left?

If it is, and if it's on purpose, it seems like that would make it hard to get even tiller?

This may help you see where its off.

I can't claim the idea, I just know it helps.

Your tiller isnt bad or uneven. It just might not match your profile. Is it a straight taper or parallel?

Thanks, it is a straight taper

You could get a bit more working limb near the fades but it will shoot fine like that. Shoot it and enjoy it and make another bow if you still feel like fiddleing around.

Shoot the crap out of it! That tiller matches your front profile.

Here is the final pics. It is 50@28 62" with Halibut skins, antler tips and rest with Seal skin. This is for a friend in South Dakota.
