Tiller check?
« on: February 28, 2011, 03:54:00 PM »
This piece of osage had some natural reflex in the middle of the limb on the left and a big hump about 6" from the fade on the right limb. I thought it looked ok(not great) and wanted to get some other opinions. What do yall think?
Here it is at 26" draw.

Thanks George. Its 70". I had to make it a little longer than I wanted to get the string to line up because of the side to side wiggles. No I'm not done, my draw is around 28.5". Its hittin 52# at 26" and I wanted to get some other opinions before I went any further. Oh yeah and I was ready to take a break.

Pretty good so far.  I'd stay away from that left tip for good, though.  It's approaching a whip tiller.  I'd scrap the outer half of that right limb and get it caught up with the left as well as get both limbs bendy just a touch more at the fades.   :)
