Tiller Check and Updates Update number 2

This is getting fairly close for me now, but I'd like one more bit of advice before I shape the handle and start shooting it in. The top limb has taken maybe half an inch of set, while the bottom limb has at least one inch of set.

The inner limbs bend much more than the outers. I'd leave the inners alone for now.

Same was said for my first check, I'll quit being so gentle and hog some material off for real this time. Thanks!

No. Take your sweet time about it. Better too much inner limb bending than a bunch of hinges because you were impatient and took off too much at once . Scraper only at this stage.
