DVS, hope the trouble at your farm wasn't too bad.
I've finished tillering my trade bow. It is pulling 57-58 lbs at 28". After shooting a few dozen times, I think it's almost ready for finish sanding and tip overlays. Of course, I'll shoot it a lot more just to make sure it's gonna be ready to ship.
I'm still having fits with posting pics. We've had issues with the internet this weekend and my wife can't even get on line. So pics will hafta wait.
Sorry, ******

Finally got the handle wrap and rest worked out on my trade bow, need to take a little of the shine off the finish yet, then it's ready to ship. I'll get a few pics up later in the week.
Kelly, I'll PM you when it's ready to go.

Got to the farm and the lowlifes took all my turkey hunting stuff, a few bigger items, and worst of all my kids bikes. My 6 year old was in tears. What kind of person would take a six year olds bike? Other my my boys feelings hurt, it wasn't too bad. I can recoup my stuff, but heaven help the man if I ever find him, and It's a small town and a very noticeable bike. Bowshop time tomorrow night.

Sorry to hear about your situation DVS. I hate a thief. Got my tip glued back on and did just a little more tillering. Don't have any smooth on, so I used Loctite this time. You guys think the tiller looks symmetrical? Sometimes I think it looks a little off and other times I think it looks ok. I've got a little room to tweak it yet, so please give me your suggestions on where you think it needs scraped to get the limbs to match up. I still need to shape the handle and narrow and shape the tips, so I'm gonna do that next while pondering final tiller adjustments. Posts: 729 | From: Missouri | Registered: Sep 2008

Nice tiller, vanillabear!!!!! That's what reflex/deflex profile should resemble when drawn. Now, what's it look like when drawn in the hand?

I'm need a little input on my handle. All I have ever made are shoot off the knuckle bows. And I really don't like how wide this handle is. The handle is 2" wide now and I know decide if I should cut a rest into the handle or thin the handle out and add a floppy rest. Suggestions?
