Title: Hickory ?
Post by: BowJunkie on June 20, 2011, 07:07:52 pm

Ok. I have this hickory stave floor tillered and ready for a long string.
My question is should I do anything to the curve " red arrow" in the upper limb prior to tillering?
Or should I proceed and tiller the bow to my desired draw length and poundage?

Me personally I would just leave it as is and tiller accordingly, I dont see allot you could do to fix that with heat because of where it starts and stops IMO and on that top limb it deflexes then reflexes back in line with the lower limb so it should be fine I think. Go with it ;D

keep us posted

I agree. Be sure it does its share of the work. Let it bend. Not any more. Not any less. Jawge
