Good one, Chris. I was cringing for about 3 seconds, then I started reading!  >:D

Roy I think you're using the wrong ends. Butt the other ends together then rawhide back it. Should be fine. ::) ;D

Hey Roy that brown bottle may have something to do with that, not saying, just saying!

At the risk of exposing my ignorance can we just run over what is SO ugly(your words ;) ) about this tiller. Might as well learn something today. I see the hinge on the right fade. If the hinge wasn't there it looks like the limbs would be fairly equal. Being an R/D, isn't it going to look like it's bending too much in the fades. The limbs will look straighter on an R/D also, wouldn't they?
Thanks

You should have let it go on a while. I was staring at it, thinking my eyes must play tricks on me cause that looks so crappy and I know you can tiller. I was almost blaming it on my lack of experience with RDs...

DC, for the amount of reflex in the bow they should still be slightly elyptical. From what I think anyway. The sucker is bending straight outta the fades and not much elsewhere. I may be wrong as I'm no expert. If I am plz say so. I'd like to learn

If I had say 12" of sharp reflex mid limb out, then maybe it would appear somewhat flat after they uncurled at full draw. That POS isn't bending anywhere except the first 3"! With that shape unbraced, it should look very flat bow like with slightly stiff tips.

It's fun to look in the way back machine....

Here's a link to a Jatoba bow I made in 2008...



And this is scary.... I think this is '07 or something.  Ouch! Way over 90 deg.  Maybe Osage is king after all.... (chortle).
