I dig out knots that go all the way through and leave them that way.  but the ones that are only on the belly I dig out a fill with glue and saw dust.  Just the I do it.

finally got it braced.  took a while because it was too stiff after putting in the reflex, and then my string kept stretching out on me.  kept it braced at 1" for about 30 seconds, just long enough to snap pictures and get a look at it.  should be able to get the string perfectly centered by thinning tips and handle... later.    lost a hair over an inch of reflex (the bottom of the blue tape on the wall marks where the tips were right off the form)  the unbraced pic is immediately after unstringing.  if it looks like its going to have string follow once i get it to full brace, is there any harm in re-adding reflex in the outer two thirds?




i think my floor tillering abilities are improving... limbs look pretty darn even to me first try.

Whats the straight edge tell you? The straight edge never lies. One of these days Im going to do a straight edge tillering video.

straight edge says (i think) slightly stiffer.  very slight and the bumps and wiggles still play tricks on me.  the wood curving the opposite way of the line can make a straight line look curved... or vice versa i guess.

Tip that straight edge as you run it along the limb, follow those twists. If that gap even starts to shrink a hair, mark the area and remove wood. This stave is pretty "clean" and each limb needs to bend evenly and the same.

think we might be talking about two different things... i thought you were asking about the straight line drawn down the side of the limbs using the yardstick.  are you talking about a tillering gizmo (or using a small straight edge in the same manner)?

I use my scraper, but yes that's the edge I was referring to. Run it from your fades to 6" from the tips. That gap needs to be the same from end to end.

If that's your method, then your all set. Forget about pencil marks and just watch your straight edge gap. When your gap is even end to end on each limb, your tillered. Slowly draw it out to your weight and watch for flat spots with your straight edge. Once you get to 20" or so your tiller probably wont change out to 27-28".

looking good !
You should be able to do all the rest except that one dipdedo with your gizmo or a strait edge sighting devise !!!
Just check back on the strait line once and awhile to be sure it has the same amount of bend that you see with the rest of the limb !
Nice job so far now slow down some more !  :laugh: :laugh:
