I put the dnife down and go to surform early on. Even then I'm alternating with a scraper like tool. Once I string it I'm using  a scraper.
jr, check tiller frequently and you will not be able to use calipers to gauge taper.
Check my site.

My buddy Joe makes what he calls "splinter" bows from very narrow osage, always less than one inch wide. They sure sling an arrow!
