It's been said before, but this thread needs to be made permanent somewhere. Maybe not all the responses like they do in the "how-to" section, but definitely made for forever. It would be a huge loss for future bowyers.

Ok here's the new Red oak pyramid bow ive been working on. It's 2 1/2" at the fades to 1/2" at the reflexed tips. The riser is the updated riser from this build along and is 8" overall length. The overall length of the bow is 75". I know that's long but my draw is 31.5". I am not planning on backing this bow because the grain looks good,"would like to hear any suggestions if you think not backing the bow would be a mistake". In the pics I got the bow down to 23" on a just barely braced string. Still got a long way to go with my draw length. Any Tiller input would be appreciated, How's it looking so far?

I am very new to the site and must say I love it! I enjoy the build along very much, great info and some of the best looking bows I have seen. Thanks to all for sharing with us and it really helps the new guys like me. Even though I have been bow hunting for over 40 years, I have never tackled a build, that is about to change. I think a board bow first. Again thanks to all who build and share.

Red Tailed Hawk: Hey, it's looking good so far. I believe the right limb is a touch stiffer than the left, and that you need to get the middle third of the limb moving more. Also, get it brace a touch higher on the short string. It will pull the limbs differently. Spending too much time on a long string can give you a false tiller reading. Lastly, be sure to make Erik Krewson's tillering gizmo. It will save you a LOT of time and produce a much more evenly tillered bow.
It looks like you followed my updated advice on handle construction and riser length.
Keep the pictures coming!
