how's my tiller

Your real close, looks like the limb on the left{in pic} is a little stronger. Take it slow & keep working the limbs, nice job.

[recurve25]

Thanks Two Dogs.

Also both limbs seem to twist in the same direction, but the string lays center the whole length. What should I do about that?

Looks pretty nice.

Tiller is very nice, but just to be picky, the right limb looks just a tiny bit weaker in the first third of the limb.  Depending on how close you are, just stay away from that area and do a couple extra scrapes each time on the left side.

As far as the twist, make sure as you are tillering that you are keeping both edges of the limb the same thickness.  If the string is still tracking through the handle, don't let it bother you too much.

If you're at your desired poundage at your desired draw length; just sand it, finish it, and shoot it!

(oh, and it looks like you have a LOT of wood past the string grooves.  You only really need 3/4".  That'll add a few fps and lessen the hand-shock)

Looks very good. What draw length do you want and where are you? Jawge

[recurve25]

Thanks John. I will remove that extra wood.

Thanks Jawge. The draw length is at at 25 inches and am needing 28.

To me it looks pretty hingy on the right limb starting about 6" out of the fade and continuing for the next 8", then real stiff at mid limb. Could bend a little closer to the tip as well.

Left limb looks good to me.

Do you have a tillering gizmo?

[George Tsoukalas]

You should only be using a scraper now or a scraper like tool. I would work on getting a little more bend in the handle area. I would also hit mid limb on a few times with the scraper. Jawge
