It all depends how big the log is. There is dry and then there is dry for a bowyer. Once you have roughed it into a stave you can floor tiller, any residue of moisture should leave pretty quickly.I cant wait to see pics of whatcha got there.
I'm out of town this week, but hoping to get and end sawed off this weekend.
So, all you guys talking about resealing the ends and letting it dry...this log has been in a buddy's shed for 20 years, in Wyoming, which has some of the dryest air in the Union. Is that really necessary? I kind of suspect if it isn't dry by now, it's never going to be.
Don't go for bendy tips!!!!
If you want to make the tips work a bit, you can always ease them off once the bow is tillered... but I still think it's a bad idea!
I've never seen a whip tillered bow that performed well, But I have seen stiff tipped bows that did!
