Tiller board question & 1st tiller
« on: February 10, 2008, 09:25:22 pm »
My question is where do you place bow on the tiller board?  I would assume you would place the center of the grip over the center of the board.  When I placed my bow on my tiller board I could slide the string nearly anywhere I wanted to and make the appearance of the bow change.  Am I just looking for the arc of the bow at this point?

Here is a picture of my 1st tiller on the long string.  The bottom limb is on the right.



Any comments will be appreciated.

Thanks

Joe

My advice may not be the best because I'm a beginner.  But I like to center the bow on the stick and keep the string centered also.  I only use the board to bring the bow to approximate brace height.  Then I move to the tiller tree.

That's the way I do it too only not with a T stick. pretty nice stave you got there.  You may want to  use a rope and pulley. There are buildalongs on my site that will take you through tillering. Jawge

What George said, especially the part about reading his site.  Justin
