Osage Tiller Advise Updated Pic

[bigcountry]

Any advise?  This is braced 4" and pulled 17".  Would you pull further?  For some reason I have some very slight set right out of the "right" limb fade.  I am not sure why.  I would figured the left limb would be bending too much out of the fades, not the right.

Would you go ahead down and pull it further?  Its a straight limbed design, slight reflex.  1.6" at the fades straight for 12" and then pyamiding to the .4" tips.  Top limb(rightlimb) is 1.5" longer.

Looks pretty good to me,I would go to full brace and then pull to weight you are wanting if all is still looking OK.Never pull over the weight you are looking for. What weight are you at 17 inches ?

She is only 35lbs at 17".  I haven't even came close to my 55lb target.   

I am really taking it easy on this one.  Its the cleanest piece of osage I ever had.

looks pretty even, are you certain it's dry? - good luck !

It better be.  Mike M on here said it was over a year old, and I have had it almost a year and half.  Not sure if its going to get dryer.

Lookin good so far, I would work mid-limb out for a few tillering sessions, slowly increasing to my 55 draw weight.

thanks, I was kinda thinkin that also as its thicker midlimb out.

I usually have this problem of not getting enough bend in the fades to midlimb and trying to make sure that happens this time.

Looks good. First impression is make sure she is beginning to bend at the end of the fades. May be get it bending a bit more there. I'd alos get a little more bending mid limb on. Just a little. But it looks good as is and I'm n nitpicking. Jawge

Means a bunch coming from you.  Thanks.  I am only working like 1/2 hour at a time on this one.  Usually I will get tunnel vision and work like 3 hours straight and get a hinge.

Ok, update, need your guys eyes.  Here she is at 21" on the tree.  My gut says take midlimb out and bring her on home.  She is 53lbs at 24".  I have 5" to go.

Rubbing her real slow with gentle love.  She is at brace hieght of 5.5".  Set has not gotten any worse.

Ya I would a little on the mid 1/3 of the limbs and maybe just a touch on the right limb right out of the fad. Looking good.

Best piece of osage I ever worked on.

Big, what's going on in that right limb 8-10 in from the tip. Is it naturally reflexed there? Jawge

[bigcountry]

George, good eyes, yes that side is naturally reflexed about 1.5".  I didn't reflex the other side and wondering if I should have.
