I am very impressed! I am too stubborn about making my own stuff or I'd be asking you what you want for it! I am sucking this up like a sponge!

true story, until the 15th of november on the river we have a generous bag limit of 1 salmon and 0 trout.
where they stick it to you though is in reality; you won't catch one.

if this bow turns out as i am hoping, it will likely go to toostiepop.
i'll be starting on a few more as i tiller this one. one of them is a special one.

Lovely bow Canid, takes me back to my archery days. Any chance you'd ship overseas??

sorry for the delay. with this damp weather i've been letting the bow dry a bit before getting too far with the tiller. it is shaping up well. i expect to get back to it early this morning.
it's early in the tiller still, but it's looking like finishing out about 45-50lb of draw. with that walnut on there i don't want to over-stress the back.

here it is at i think 15" on the short string. the tiller is half done [most of the work done in the last two hours]

i need to get more bend in the outer half of the lower limb, and throughout the upper.
the weight is looking a bit light, and it might finish out closer to 40lb. @ 28"

What's the difference between the "long string" and the "short string" (besides length)?
If you make a mistake on the tiller do you use tiller filler? (Ha!)

hah indeed! i wish.If you make a mistake on the tiller do you use tiller filler?
the long string is a string about the length of the bow, so that you can begin bending the bow from a starting point of no resistence [bend] and work along by the inch.
once you are tillered safely to your brace point [the profile the bow should have when strung] you can switch to a short string, at or near the length of the final string to be used. from that point, you can see [and adjust] the way the bow will finally bend as it's being drawn.
