Best to put it away for a while, and come back to it with a clear head. Your first tiller pic looked so nice too! Some staves are just plain onery,throw in some character,and BAMMM! Kick it up a notch! Excersize,until wood removal registers,(or at least when you think it does) , before removing anymore. -------------------- (Enny o yuns know ware thu heart o a stumpytail izz??) Posts: 4781 | From: Hickory co.Mo. | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Linc Trad Bowhunter Member # 285 posted                        Thanks guys.I knew this was going to be a problem from the moment I put the short string on it.The long string can hide a lot of evils. The weight will not be a problem as this bow will be going to a special Lady.She is a cancer survivor and a friend of the family.She expressed an interest in me making a bow for her to fling some arras with.She is not a hunter, nor is her husband. Currently the snakey stave is drawing 30#@28".I don't imagine her draw being much over 24".I'll be shortening the bow soon anyway which will gain back some poundage.But first I will need to get her here to try it out to see what kind of weight she is comfortable with.I've made this bow slim with the idea of low mass weight.So now it's just a matter of getting the tiller good and getting the draw weight to her liking. -------------------- Lincoln E. Farr Posts: 2929 | From: Martville,New York | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  the Ferret Trad Bowhunter Member # 103 posted                        You know Linc you need to flip it around and look at the other side as well. These character staves are real good at fooling the eyes with turns dips and shadows sometimes you are not seeing what you are actually seeing. -------------------- 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 |  Linc Trad Bowhunter Member # 285 posted                        Yup,You're right Mickey.I flip flopped it quite a few times.I knew better but I screwed up anyways. -------------------- Lincoln E. Farr Posts: 2929 | From: Martville,New York | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Linc Trad Bowhunter Member # 285 posted                        Sorry it has taken so long to get this thread going again. I've worked on two other snakey bows in the meantime.I just put sinew on the backs today.I strung them backwards and applied sinew. I've decided to do something a little different with Checks and Balances.In stead of removing wood from both sides of the hinge,I did a little patch job in that area to make it stiffer.I'll let it set till after work tomorrow before stringing it up.I want to let the glue have plenty of time to set. -------------------- Lincoln E.

That's a heck of alot of reflex in the one on the left. -------------------- "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy" Red Green Posts: 7499 | From: Nevada | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  LeeNY Contributor 2013 Member # 1447 posted                     Dano, I'm wondering how he balanced that Hacksaw off of that limb.lol Posts: 1378 | From: Central NY | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Dano Contributor 2009 Member # 748 posted                        Me too Lee, I didn't notice that. -------------------- "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy" Red Green Posts: 7499 | From: Nevada | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  LeeNY Contributor 2013 Member # 1447 posted                     Come to think of it I think he's using some of that elephant sinew. 60" sinew on a 56" bow!
