A line of diff. tiller shapes

[Pat B.]

I would be proud to hunt with those bows.. The osage and elm recurves have especially nice eye appeal overall..

The tiller on all looks outstanding, I'm jealous..

[IdahoMatt]

Wow Simon.  That's a great group right there.  I sure hope you do individual stats and pics of each.  I love that elm static.  Great job on all of them.  I'll be saving some pics for tiller profiles.

well i will be odd man out...since im not a great fan of recurves...im picking that molly/holmie style...working on one of em now...but the bend on yours.....breathtaking...you should submit this to PA the magazine...dont know if they have ever done anything showing the different tiller shapes.

Hope we will see full pictures of each when you manage to fit some photography inbetween all that bow making!

   very very cool, what does the front profile look like for each?

Ooooh, now look what you are going to start!
I wrote a whole post saying that they doubtless have very similar front profiles, which dissproves the "myth" (IMO) that front profile has anything to do with tiller shape (except for bows of constant thickness).
I didn't post it as I thought it would stir up controversy .
But seein' as how you've started ... I'll jump in.

 I agree with you Del. it's a myth right up there with the "don't draw over your target weight".

Man, I'd take any of em, even the low quality yeller wood. Very nice man!

[TimBo]

They are all great, but the more bows I see, the more I am in love with the simple D bows...that first one is calling to me!  Beautiful work as always.

I agree with 4dog, that would make an interesting article comparing and contrasting the designs.

[George Tsoukalas]

Outstanding! Those are beauties. Jawge

[Marc St Louis]

Good examples of well tillered bows

[Sasquatch]

Great Reference! Spot on examples.

[Josh B]

If front profile has no bearing on tiller profile, does that mean you tiller a Mollie the same as a pyramid?   Fine examples Simon.  I'm hoping that more pics and stats are coming soon!  Josh

Sorry to break in to this thread but we have a new member that just posted for his first time and it's not me.    This new guy is "PatB.", with a period after.    Pat, welcome to PA.

Great to see the variety all together.

you should submit this to PA the magazine...dont know if they have ever done anything showing the different tiller shapes.

Maybe also a little on what each tiller profile would be most likely used for (horse, blind, flight...)

[dragonman]

very nice work..all very good examples of their tiller and good to see together....I think many will keep this post for reference....oh where is the reflex deflex to make it complete??
