you seem a little impatient to get a bow finished. :-\
take a deep breath,relax and chant this to yourself 10 times " patience is my greatest tool "
when you start on your stave,take pics,post said pics and ask a lot of questions,be patient for answers and do what the great ones on here suggest
and it is very very likely that that first bow will be a shooter.these guys on here know there stuff,they are some of the greatest wood bowyers in the world :-*
good luck

Here is the reading you want. There are other posts on tillering trees if you want to read them, try the search option. On the note of patience, it is absolutely the most important part. Without patience you will have toothpicks not a bow. One more thing, posting the same question 4 times on the boards will not get you the answear any faster. ;)

OOPS, my bad you posted it a 5th time while I was typing. ::)

Sounds like an impatient Young Pup....posted this in almost all categories....I can tell you this much...if you post it once ...it will be found by all Who look at the Unread Posts Listing....
Do what Sailordad said....take a deep breath,relax and chant this to yourself 10 times " patience is my greatest tool "....and read....there is so much usefull information on here...it should take you a Month to digest it all....then start the chips a flying....this way your chances of Failure are that much less....and remember ....you Will fail....maybe not the first...but there will be failures...learn from them

I believe George has one on his site.
-

Sourdough do a search for "Tillering Tree" and no need to post this 3 times ;) :)

grab some wood, look at a picture and dive in. this is hands on learning.

Here is a couple of pictures that might help you. The stick is about 33" long and is screwed to a base

sourdough, I merged all of these posts together so that all the info was in one place. Makes it a little easier to read all the answears. Justin
