   His name is James E Martin, I bet he would love to shoot that bow.

   I may have met him, maybe I can talk him into bringing the bow to the flight shoots, is he on any of the forums?

I don't tiller that way Steve.

Marc, is this the right thread for asking how you proceed when tillering?

I don't check draw weight much till I reach around 20" of draw length, I focus more on getting the tiller shape about as good as I can get it.  After 20" I have very little wood to remove, more like just sanding the limbs to make any adjustments to the tiller.  Once I am past 20" I start to check more frequently and adjust the draw weight.

I got around to wrapping this bow up.  Leather wrap on the handle plus 6 arrows and a spare string.  The arrows are 33" long and made of White Ash 7/16" in diameter, a 200 grain point and a total weight of around 1300 grains

Marc however you tiller a bow it sure works out good for you. You've always got the nicest bends around. Even when you have to draw them with two hands.

   I bet that bow could set a broadhead record in flight that would hold for years to come.

Dang! Just found this thread. What an elephant killer.
I admire your skills - it's pain to work on bows like this one. Do we have a chance to hear about the speed the new owner gets with this bow/arrow combo?

Marc, It is great to see that you were able to make it happen with the heavy recurve build. It is quite the beauty and a impressive bow in all regards! Excellent work as usual! SS
