perfect tiller club...where do I sign up?
« on: September 08, 2007, 08:40:00 PM »


Moral of the story:  do not work on tillering after a long day's work of hefting around wet treated lumber in the mid ninety degree humid and sticky weather.

I was so frustrated with this bow that I yanked on the pulley string as hard as I could - expecting it to snap - but it didn't.   :D  

So I cut the riser off and will use it on another bow.

What's up with black locust anyway for belly wood?  I really dislike it....seems too soft and chewy.  Probably has too high of moisture content or something.

The left side is bending too much, and the right side needs to bend more.    ;)  j/k

I'm sure most folks who have ventured into making bows have felt the same way at times.   Try and try again.

"Good golly!",,, that's what my wife said when she saw the pic.   :scared:  

I have found locust to be finicky when it comes to tillering. I have trouble with hinging though.

I refuse to tiller unless I am at peace in my mind and in general.

JUST WAK AWAY MAN,,,, WALK AWAY!!!   :wavey:

Too many lines behind the bow. Would have made me crazy too. I'm gettin' agitated just by looking at the picture!!!
