Title: tiller check please
Post by: fishfinder401 on February 11, 2012, 09:08:23 pm

i was wondering what you guys thought of this tiller before i finished it up, its somewhere between 150-160 @32, although i have not gotten that far yet, ill hopefully have a more accurate number once i get a stronger scale,  i almost forgot its hickory

Noel, the bend looks pretty good but it doesn't look like you are holding the bow in the center.

i realized that once i had shot the video, once its finished it will be easier for me to tell, o im not sure whether i should put a leather grip on or leave it plain with a bowyers mark

Stay with the classical style, plain with your bowyers mark.  8)

the only reason i was thinking leather is i found with the ash that the wood gets dirty were i hold it and i thought hickory would do the same
