Hickory bow help please:: TILLER CRITIQUE PLEASE!

[Don Case]

If I can ask a question? Looking at the picture, it looks to me that it is already bent to about 6" brace height. Why drop back to 3"? Does the short string pull that much differently than the long string?

Brace it now. Watch the last 8 inches or so on each limb. Leave that area alone and work the fades out to mid limb.

It is time to just use the scraper now. Easy does it. No power tools.

Info on my site.

Thank you guys! Been to your website loads of times George.  I was looking for different layout designs for hickory and couldn't find any . Was I missing it?

Yes it does Don. The long string pulls mostly downward and a touch inward. The short string pulls equally inward and downward totally changing the way the bow looks and bends.

+1 PD, no point in putting it off any longer now that you're this close.
