stave twist

[luke the drifter]

greetings y'all,

it has been a while since the last time i posted anything.  here is this one. 
i do not know if it was or has been discussed in this community but instead of steaming or using dry heat to get the twist out has it ever been achieved by simply taking mass off one side or however to the point where the string will pull the limbs allowing the string to  center when draw length has been achieved.  i do not know if what i am saying is making any sense.  is there a video to show how that would work. would there be a high limb-stress problem doing it that way.

Luke, you can tiller twist out of a bow.   IMO the only true way to check tiller is at full draw.

Heating the twist out of wood isn't hard at all as long as the twist isn't severe.  I think correcting it that way would be a much better solution than tillering it out.  That's my opinion on it.

Unless the twist is greater than 30-35% I leave it. I would not deal with natural twist as you mentioned, Luke but I would fix twist I caused that way. Jawge
