Author Topic: tillering osage limb twist/ its a bow (photos added) George Tsoukalas Trad Bowhunter Member # 92 posted                        Your doing a fine job. Don't think of it as twist. Think of it as character. Jawge Posts: 4458 | From: NH | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Lost Arra Contributor 2012 Member # 3871 posted                     George: sometimes I do better if I don't think at all! Someone here (I think it was Stan) called it "paralysis by analysis". This afternoon after looking again at your Aerobow and with Ted's encouragement to skip the heat gun I just jumped in with both feet and now she's done. 62" and a little over 60#@28 right now but I've only shot about 20 arrows and I'm not finished sanding so I'm hoping for about 55#. I really need some advice on shaping limb tips. Mine always look like "thumbs".

Nice looking bow. I have a thing on my website about shaping tips and overlays that may help. http://groups.msn.com/ferretsarcherywebpage/installingtipoverlays.msnw -------------------- There is always someone that knows more than you, and someone that knows less than you, so you can always learn and you can always teach Posts: 12891 | From: Cincinnati, Ohio | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  rocdoc Trad Bowhunter Member # 1779 posted                     Nice job Bob!!! I knew I should have given you some 'trashwood' at McAlaster....then you wouldn't have know any better.

I thought all osage was supposed to look like that! I had planned on bringing this to OJAM for advice but I couldn't wait.

Farr Posts: 2929 | From: Martville,New York | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  John Scifres Associate Sponsor Member # 946 posted                        Bob, I've been sending people wood for a lot of years. This year has been great for seeing the chunks of wood I send out turned into bows. I had one customer email me a pic of a doe he killed with a bow made from some wood I sent him. Then HunterDFK makes that awesome ambush bow. And now this! What a great tiller. Congrats. Great job. Those tips don't look bad to me. John -------------------- Take a kid hunting! TGMM Family of the Bow Posts: 5971 | From: Indiana | Registered: May 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Bowchef Trad Bowhunter Member # 4402 posted                  If you get more of that "twisted" wood that you don't want to mess with, just give me a shout. That is straighter than anything I have ever had. I'm with Ted. Tiller it and shoot it. That slight twist won't hurt you at all. -------------------- Doug Posts: 569 | From: Alabama | Registered: Sep 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Ted Fry SPONSOR Member # 386 posted                        Looks like another beautiful wood bow to me.Great job on the tiller -------------------- www.raptorarchery.com Happy Hunting, Ted Posts: 1474 | From: www.raptorarchery.com | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  badger4x Trad Bowhunter Member # 6449 posted                     That twist doesn't look like anything I would worry about much. Looks pretty good actually.

Well done. Great tiller. I basically shape the nocks to fit my stringer which I rearely use these days anyway. There's some info on my site. Check the buildlalongs. A 4 way rasp works well for nocks. Jawge Posts: 4458 | From: NH | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Lost Arra Contributor 2012 Member # 3871 posted                     J Scifres: I hope to send you a photo of something shot by this bow! Sorry I failed to give credit to the source of this wood (while I whined about the "twist"). I know the twist didn't look like much to the experienced guys here but it had a novice like me worried at first. Even at first brace it looked pretty shakey, kind of like an old recurve that had been improperly strung. As the tillering progressed I kept thinking about a sentence in Dean's book: " The only meaningful criterion which should be applied to the tillered bow is what it does at full draw." And to tell the truth, this bow looks it's best only at full draw. Posts: 2684 | From: Oklahoma | Registered: Jul 2004  |  IP: Logged |
