My first attempt to build a bow
luis32:
fieldmouse I jsut made my first bow like 5 days ago and I think that the most important thing in making bows is having patience,going little by little,exercise the limbs.looking foward to seeing your progess.
fieldmouse:
Not much of an update but I've completed my tiller press and shaped my ends. Read to begin the tillering process.

zenmonkeyman:
You'll want to swoop your handle gently into the belly before you start bending, otherwise the handle will pop off on you. Have you got it to floor tiller yet?
fieldmouse:
I was wondering about the handle, thanks. As far as floor tillering, yes and no. Yes I've been doing it but probably not as far as I need to go.
adb:
I think you might want to do some more profile shaping and handle fade tapering before you tiller any further.
