tiller looks okay, just be sure to loose alot of weight at those tips/outerlimbs, they look massive and cast-robbing!

the tips are acuatlaly covered in tape where my thread wraps are so that i wouldn't scuff them up while removing wood. but i do planning thinning the tips a little since they have zebra wood overlays. thanks jawge i really appreciate it. ;D

i know, i know i need to set up a pulley system, but for whatever reason every time i read a description it just won't sink in on exactly how to do it, and where do you buy the pulleys? do you have to attach to a wall because i rent and don't know if i can do that. oldbow that is good old red oak.

It would be rough of you rent but mine takes down and goes in my wood vice. The top is clamped to a ceiling joist. I make them in my cellar. See Bow Making Directions on my site. Jawge
