Tillering quandry...
« on: January 06, 2015, 07:10:49 pm »
So I notice during tillering that as the limb bends it twists sideways
a smidgen.. My superior intellect tells me that the side that is
staying straighter is the thicker side and needs some convincing more...

So, to see if I'm smarter than wood, I figured I'd ask you guys if the top of
the limb below needs thining...

Check the thickness and remove wood from the thicker side.

See, I thought about that... what if one side had a hair more strength? 
Does that happen ?  Figured I'd let the wood talk to me, and it is but
I'm not well enough versed in white oakese

Don't sweat it, sometimes the wood keeps it's mouth shut!   :) ;)
Side to side limb thickness is an issue I started out with.....
