One warning about no string tillering. You cant see potential twist and a few other alignment issues. The stave better be quite straight. I still like a string to tiller.

Steve you can always try what I use at times. The bow doesnt need to be braced, but a tighter string helps. Vice the center up and place 1 x 1's of various lengths in to check tiller and aligment.
