John,
Good looking stave, I am looking forward to the tillering process.  The bow building bug hit me hard after volunteering to help with this project.  Here are a couple of pictures of a practice bow I started on Monday evening, it is ready for the short string.  
 

 
It is a little spooky looking at the similarity of the St Jude’s stave and the practice bow.

Your cull is real similar in shape to the one I built (and still use) ten years ago, where did you get your cull design from?

Walt,

Where did you get the paper behind your tillering tree.  I like that it really looks like it would help with tillering.    :thumbsup:

Walt,

My caul is an adaptation of the one Gary Davis showed me way back at the first MOJam.  I like the tips with a little reflex like you get with this caul.  Nice looking practice bow.  If the one I'm sending you blows up, it's nice to have a backup  :)

Thanks all.  Stay tuned.

John

Jeffery,
You can get the grid board at any sewing supply or Wal Mart, mine cost around fifteen dollars.
Tippit,
You can’t have too much Osage, it is like gold in Montana.  I seldom sell any of my bow wood; every couple of months I refer somebody wanting to buy a stave to Mike Yancy or Gary Davis.  
Calvin,
Unlike your bow last year, if you bid enough to get this years St. Jude bow ,you will not have to wait six months for your bow (Calvin won the bow I donated last year).  Also, this year’s bows target weight is really close to your preferred weight.
Bob,
I believe John has a good idea, keeping the practice bow as a back up in case something happens to the St. Jude’s bow.  Also, the Practice bow is only 62” and has a target weight between 65 and 70 pounds at 28”, which is a little stiff for most of the bidders out there.
John,
The stave and floor tiller looks great!  I am looking forward to doing my part.  My cull works really well on bows between 66-68 inches but does not induce enough reflex on most of the bows I make, usually  between 58-62 inches.  One of these days, when I have more shop space, I will build a shorter form.

Thanks Walt.  65# at 28" perfect.  Do you have details on how you built your cull.

Haven't checked this thread in a while, didn't notice the tillering request. I am sure Walt will do an excellent job.

My preffered draw weight is 79#@28" (written on the bow) and 50#@27 actually. LOL.

The leather was shipped to me today. So I will be shipping the quiver and some extra for the sheath and some for the armguard out to Tippet and Bowchef as soon as I get it.
