Hickory Maple and Ipe ELB tiller
« on: May 16, 2016, 10:27:42 am »
Looking to make a 74"  ~60# ELB

Stave is Hickory Maple And Ipe but question is what shape of tiller to aim for with full compass or stiffer in the grip?

It is roughed out and incredibly stiff compared to the other lemonwood bows I've done
If it ain't broken its only a matter of time...

War bows are tillered full compass, ELBs are generally stiff handle.
