Look at my tiller and tell me
« on: May 13, 2007, 07:07:00 PM »
what you think of the tiller.  The first pictures are of a bamboo backed hickory, 60" nock to nock, 54lbs@27.  The second is an osage bow, 64 nock to nock, 49lbs@27.  Tell me what to improve on?????.  Both of these are built using Dean Torges method, and the top limbs are 1 1/2 inches longer than the bottom limbs.

Very nice. You did an excellent job of both bows. Will you post pics of the unbraced profile and an unbraced face on view?  Thanks,  Pat

Looking good.  

I think I'd touch the outer third on that top limb on the white bow.  

The osage looks a little hingy right out of the fade on the upper limb.

The osage bow is hingy at the top fade then stiff for about 6", bottom limb looks pretty good.


Ever try one of these.

The location of the set on both bows is saying something to you.

From the set, I think you could get a bit more work out of the outer half of both limbs.

Pretty darn good, though.  I imagine both are fine bows.
