Pat B:
Even though wood is dry doesn't necessarily mean it is cured. The tiller and weight can change over a couple of years as the wood does cure. I have noticed this especially with shoot arrows as well as some stave woods. Once it has cured the wood is more stable and less apt to change unless it is affected by moisture.   Pat

Badger's mass thingy would tell you if the bow dropped moisture content, but I never write stuff down anyway and definately would not remember 5 yrs later.

Pappy:
That's me I should keep better records,All I can usually tell you about one of my bow is when I finished it and what the weight and draw was at that time cause I put it on the bow.I wished now I had done more like Badger and kept up with it a little better.O well live and learn. :)

DCM:
Heck Pappy you got me beat.  I don't even mark nothing on the bows.  With an all wood bow, hard to say what the exact poundage is at any point in time, given changes in humidity and temperature.

Pappy:
It also depends on how long of a night I had,sometime I swear I have built one of JD'S
war bow. ;D ;D
