Don’t worry y’all! I haven’t forgotten about this project. I’ve made a bit of progress, including learning how to Flemish twist a tillering string, building a tillering tree, and getting a scale. I’ve also been slowly getting through the tillering process. Below are some pics of where I’m currently at. Ignore the marks on the wall, as the bow handle is slightly angled and causes the right limb to start lower. The shims I used were sliding around so I didn’t use them for these photos. That being said, the right limb is still a bit weaker than the left. Also the snakey character of the left limb makes it challenging to tiller correctly, but the photos shows that it might need to bend a bit more just left of the handle. Am I right? What are y’all’s thoughts?
First image is with the long string ( bow is shimmed in this photo). The rest are short string without shims.
