Thanks Ryan
Pappy:
Sounds easy enough.Ha!!! ;D.Ryan I had thought about getting one braced first ,then recurve it,That is the way I do mine with the tip turned up and it makes it much easier to get to first brace,Just asking,what do you think about that. :)?

GregB:
All these bows have been on forms at least once for straightening and reflexing. Hopefully there won't be a lot of tweaking required, but I'm sure there will be some. I had 8 bows that we're planning to recurve and work on. I would think that the static recurve might be slightly easier to tiller, but don't know for sure. Anyone have a preference between working recurve and static recurve in regards to performance?
Badger, I think you were referring to starting the tiller on the outer limbs and working your way in prior to getting on the tillering tree?
Any problem with a 55-60 lb. osage recurve holding up long term?
Have you any suggestions on how best to know when you're ready for the tillering tree from a poundage standpoint? I'm afraid it would be very easy to be fooled into thinking you had more weight then you do if you stay on the vise to long. What best way to judge that? ???
Badger:
Greg, on a working recurve like that when the string is at lower angles to different parts of the string it has to be much stiffer because as soon as the limb starts to open up the angle will change drasticly and could cause the limb to break at that point. The closer your string is to 90 degrees in relation to any point of the limb thats the point the stress ill be highest at that point in the limb, on a straight bow the angle is a straight line progression and can easily be judged, on a working recurve you kind of have to feel your way through it staying aware of the string angle to the area in your curve that you are concerned with bending.

Ryano:
I never tried it that way pappy, it might help some but I don't know how much. You definitely don't want to try that with a static curve. I like to get the limbs bending even down to the base of the curve at brace and then tiller the outer limbs to just slightly open up at full draw. I know it seems hard but its really not that bad. Greg, yes a static is a bit easier to tiller, and keep the string aligned
;D

Steve, your right about the feel your way through it.....all that technical crap just makes it sound way harder than it really is....Some times it requires less thought and more action....lol.. ::)

Pappy,
Those tips are only 18" in front of the handle. Are you sure it will perform? ;D Wow!
