Tillered Bow
« on: January 31, 2010, 12:27:27 am »
Just got a computer lesson from El Destructo, and am now armed with another bow building tool. I think this is what you meant El Destructo. The tips are reflexed some, and the handle is non-bending, so I tried to place the oval in the best place.

Hey nice looking bow.

El D, Maybe you could post how that is done in the how to section?  I would love to know how to do that.

Yes, that is THE tool when the eyes begin to get tired...

I usually take a pic on the tiller tree, flip it sideways on the computer, then lay the circle/elipse on it.

That's a good looking bow. And the paint ellipse is definitely a handy trick if the front profile of the bow allows for an elliptical tiller.

I can use this on D-Bows...Hupa Paddle Bows....Mollegabet Bows.....even a Hun Horsebow...it's all in where you lay out the Elipse...you have to lay it out where it follows the Bows Design...and then just use it mainly as a visual Aid in measuring the distance that each Limb is bending in respect to the other...iIt surely isn't limited to just a ELB ...or an North American D Bow...JMO

I never use it, mostly because I'm lazy :o but also where my tiller tree is the lighting is not conducive to pictures I do
use a tillering gizmo from time to time though which can also tell you if its bending to much or not enough.

Go for it Mike it certainly cant hurt as its another tool in the arsenal, you can use any pictures of mine ya want
especially to demonstrate the uneven tillers ;D
