Yew tiller input please
« on: July 26, 2020, 12:28:28 pm »
This is a 64” ntn yew bow. I heat bent the outer 9” to put a slight bit of reflex.
In this picture I have it bent at 15”. It has 3/8”+ tiller.

You want a picture of the whole bow from straight on. No angles or part shots. :D

Your outer limbs don't seem to be working very much

I was wondering about the outer third. I’ll address that. Thanks.

Be careful mid limb but get the outers working more.

Need pictures of the whole bow, straight on unbraced, and braced.
Straight wood may make a better bow, but crooked wood makes a better bowyer

It looks pretty good but you're still standing off at an angle. If you were at 90° to the bow the top of the bench would be a straight level line across the picture. :)

Gotcha. I’ll try again. My shop is a bit crowded right now. But I will rearrange things and get a more direct shot. Thanks

That's why I haven't chimed in... the pics weren't good enough to see what's happening  :(
