Dude you are amazing ever think of selling these
i do sell them sometimes.
as i'm learning, i'm putting together a small business to help support the addiction.
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!
i'm now gluing on antler tip overlays.
i've have to leave this indoors a couple days now. during that day of overcast we had here the wood took on a bit more moisture. pics comming soon.
here are a few pictures beginning the tiller.
on the tillering stick, getting ready:

Your bowling ball seems a bit dusty. Nice work on the bow.
Looking good.
That reminds me, need to get some lighter fluid so I can get the smoker up and smoke some venison and salmon.
Thanks.
nice; i wish i had your problems :D
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??
Very nice. You really do some nice work.
haha, i could, but it would cost more than the bow. lol.

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.Quote:

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.
Thank you. Learning is almost painless on here. Very nice job on the bow!!
thank you sir.
