Well here is my 4th attempt at a bow and my first try at a r/d laminate bow.  The stack is all wood no fiberglass, 1/8" of hickory, 2- 1/8" strips of red oak and one 0.002"/in tapered strip if red oak on the belly.  Hind sight 20/20 I should have tapered it 0.004" the tips are a little stiff.... but since its all wood ill just sand some more off   :)  .  Anyway, any help hints or tips would be great.  Im definitely a little worried with the tillering, its not like tillering a long bow!!!   :)   ill try to post some picture of it on the tillering stick in the next day or two.
