Title: Osage tillered finely
Post by: Pappy on March 03, 2008, 08:35:35 am
I finely got the Osage tillered yesterday.It turned out 50@27 and pretty good.I was at weight and looked OK. Maybe a little stiff last 1/3 of top limb but I think it will be alright.Don't want to pike it so
thin I will shoot it as is. :)

Pappy I don't think it is off as much as the Picture shows....because the Bow isn't straight in the Tiller Tree....so the Oval doesn't  line up squarely with the Bow.....I think it is a great Job..takes me weeks to get one that close........I don't have room for a Tree...I just use a Tiller Stick ...and take my chances that one don't blow up in my Face!!

 I saw a moose last fall that ought to meet that bow.Beauty !

  Yep Yankee downloading and using the photo programs really help with the tillering process. but you do need to make sure that you get the oval centered and the bow straight in the pic or it can throw you off.
  Pappy thats a sweet looking bow and the tiller dose look  really fine. Cant wait to see her finished up.     Keenan

Thanks all, ya jawges I was trying to take it while holding the rope with one hand,looking at the
scale and take the picture at the same time,I'm a little right off center anyway so I guess that is par for the course. ;) ;D

Excellent work there, I use MS paint to assist in my tillering sometime also like using a supper plate.
I am definitely amazed how ya guys make them bows without any set,I need to learn that one. :)

Thanks all, Gordon I think it is 64 n-n but I will measure it when I get the grip on and it sealed up.It seems to shoot good,little weird with the handle that it has now.I guess it will feel more like the bows I am use to when I get some leather on the handle. :) ant use to that cold steel. ;D

Pappy, you've been working on so many bows you're gettin' um mixed up. This bow is the one you're making for someone, not your takedown. They're both fine bows though. ;)

Post by: Pappy on March 04, 2008, 09:38:24 am
Yep yall are right,It 's tough to get Old.Gordon this one is 66 n-n. Now I have them straight,

love that style of recurve!  had a bow like that until eddie talked me out of it.  gonna have to make one like this summer.  good job on the tiller.

Post by: Sidewinder on March 05, 2008, 03:15:57 pm
Beauty Pappy. Love the way you make them curve. I would say in my book your recurves are consistently the nicest around. How fast do they shoot? Bet they are screamers. Thanks for the inspiration.   Danny

Post by: Pappy on March 06, 2008, 06:58:31 am
Thanks guys,I appreciate it. Danny I don't know how fast they are ,never shot one
through a cono. but they shoot pretty good. :) Don't think they would set any records tho. :)

Post by: Sidewinder on March 06, 2008, 12:52:34 pm
Well, settin records ain't the target now is it?! Makin meat, now thats what I'm talking about and of course your meat makin prowess is well documented, so thats good enough for me.    Danny
