Tiller advice updated
« on: December 15, 2009, 06:38:33 am »
One of the members of this forum gifted me with an osage blank.  I really don't want to screw this up so i want help every step of the way.  Here are pictures of the bow on the long string one with tension and one without.  If I could get some advice on where to go I would appreciate it.  It is a D-bow designed to bend through the handle.

Have you done any floor tillering yet?   You'll want to get it bending pretty evenly before you put it on a stick or a tree.

Right limb is starting to bend some ,the left is still stiff in the middle 1/3 for sure.Need to get that bending more so it don't hinge at the fads.I know some don't but I always save the fads and
last 6 or 8 inches from the tip till close to last.Easy to hinge at the fads and easy to get a whip tiller   toward the tips. Looking good so far.Go slow. :)
