Title: tiller help
Post by: Benvse on January 07, 2010, 02:02:50 pm

I am still tillering my osage d-bow and wondering where to go next.  I am still with a long string and have not strung it yet.  I was wondering if I could string the bow yet or do I need more work to go.

Get the mid limbs bending more, its bending in the middle already so ya gotta be careful that it doesn't get to thin in the middle.
I always get the middle bending last.

I would take some more off the outer limbs first, get them bending. Leave the middle alone now, thats bending nice. You have it bending evenly, this is good. Keep it like that as you tiller and it will soon be a shooter.
