does the tiller look about right?
« on: March 06, 2012, 10:05:44 pm »
Made this bow a year ago. I was looking at it strung and though that maybe the upper limb tiller was not right, but sometimes I am a little hard on my tillering.  Thought that since I am a member here now,  I would let everybody else have a chance to judge my work and let me know if a little more scrapping is needed. Thanks for any help.

Providing its profile is a pyramid, I woudl say its fine.

The tiny tiny bit of set in the right limb looks to say the right mid limb is a few scrapes flat. Looks great.

Thanks for the nice words and advice.  I am always appreciate someone else's eyes on my work.  Keeps me in line.   also I did forget to mention that the bow is basically pyrimid in layout.  Widest at the grip going almost straight to the nocks.
