A little help #2
« on: September 21, 2012, 03:54:24 pm »
Need a little tiller help please.  This is the same hickory bow I posted Wed.  I have toasted the belly and a couple tiller sessions.  Here it is a 4" brace.  Second pic is pulled 50# at 27".  I want to finish at 50# at 29" if possible.  She is 66" NTN.  To me it seems the R outer limb needs work.  This is my first stave bow and I am getting real close.  Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks
Dennis

looks to me that the left limb near the beginning isn't bending enough, either that or the right limb is bending too much.
just my 2 cents
