Mike it depends on the bow, if its a short D bow make her bend from tip to tip, where on a longer bow I will usually leave the tips stiff

I keep the last couple of inches stiff if the tips are overlayed, otherwise the overlays can work their way loose.

i leave the last 4 to 6 inches stiff on alot of mine for two reasons:  1.  the tip overlays  2.  Sometimes I bring the bow into final tiller without ever unbracing it so it is harder to scrape up there with the string still on  :o .  I know it's bad....   :) -josh

That's what I do. I leave the last 6 inches or so stiff. It does depend on the bow's length though. Often the wood I work does what it wants to do anyway. :) Jawge

I tend to leave the last 4-5ins on the stiff side, even for bendy handle bows.

Mike, I generally leave 4" to 6" of each tip stiff.
