Since I got my bandsaw its been a heck of a lot easier especially when roughing things out.  I also use it to cut up the scraps for kindling wood.  Thank you RYOBI!!!  Hi KEN!!!

  Ken, for the style of boy you made the tiller shape does not agree with the front view of the bow. The reason the bow is very wide with paralell limbs going 3/4 of the way down the limb is because the tiller should bend slightly near the fades and then increase the bend as it goes down the limbs. Not saying that to be critical but it is just the way a bow like that should be built. If I were you i would touch up the tiller even if it meant loosing some weight and you will see a gain in performance and feel in the bow. Steve

Ken, glad you took it that way. Just a learning process we are all going through. Never stops as long as we are making bows. Steve
