Exsperment on a short Osage leaver bow !

[Roy from Pa]

Looks very nice, Ritchie...

[Buemaker]

Looking good. 31 inch, that Osage is some tough wood.

[Roy from Pa]

I've built two bows for fujimo out of osage with a 31.5 inch draw. Pulled them to 32 inches on the tree. Talk about being puckerd.... LOL

[Forwardhandle]

Im almost to 32" now calling it quits for the day , eyes are shot ! Right is top limb

[Forwardhandle]

Still holding 2" of reflex at 31.5 "

[Forwardhandle]

Thanks for the help more eye's the better after tillering all day !

Mid limb on the right limb looks a bit stiff. Also if the right limb is the top the fulcrum should be either centered on the handle or slightly to the right of center.
Other than that it looks good. Well done.   

[Forwardhandle]

Thanks Pat the center of the bow is actualy at the fulcrum the handle was made that way with a short handle off center & the limb is 3/16" positive tiller so I would have enought room for the arrow shelf to not be in the fades I squeezed all the length I could out of this one, I will take a look at the right limb tomorrow gave up for the night and I'm getting close to draw weight ! Thanks !

[Roy from Pa]

Right limb has flat spot.

[Forwardhandle]

Oh oh it's the season for flat spots going on around here lately 

[Forwardhandle]

Here is a closer look I see that little flat spot just about dead mid limb I will take a couple scrapes tomorrow thanks !

Have someone take a pic of you drawing the bow to full draw. A tiller tree is static but your hand isn't. There could be a completely different pic with you drawing the bow.

I agree I just have to catch up with my wife we pass in the night most weeks work schedules, I guess I could start a thread on this subject (bow tiller pics) but for my self taking pictures with a phone alone can be deceptive shadows ,lens angles, undulations in the limbs , shacky hand while pulling one handed all give false reads in the pic ,I'm not making excuses for my mediocre tiller skills...lol but I have found video some what more reliable to observe that and the unbraced profile tells better , also I move the handle towards the arrow side some too like you said & I have a sadle for the string that simulates 3 fingers & to complicate matters with bows that have heavy early draw change one limb and it's expotentinialy effects the other , also if I'm not showing any abnormalitys in the unbraced profile I shoot the bow in with 300 arrows before final final tiller , If any body's interested PM me your email & I can send only about 8 second clip of the tiller but you see much more with a video !

Here is a close up of the limb in question

Ok got the wife to take one before work
