Tri-lam Warbow tiller help

<< < (3/5) > >>

fishfinder401:
the tiller is the most important part, what layers delaminated? you might just want to try re laminating themand then tillerng it from there, i would hate to see this bow delaminate on you while you are shooting it, with a bow this weight that could be very painful
good luck

"the tiller is not as good as it could have been"

 ??? It must be the photo then, cause that bow looks spot on tiller wise to me. I do understand photos can be very inaccurate and hide/or create tiller problems. But I couldn't see a hinge/problem with that tiller in the pic with a freaking microscope, :). I think you did a nice job.

EDIT: Wait, now I see it, bottom limb looks too weak (or bending too much, could be the way your drawing it.). I would recommend flipping the bow and making the top limb the bottom for the time being if that is infact the case. Could just the way your drawing it though. Very nice bow either way!

Dag:
Thanks for the input on my stave guys   :)  My only tools right now are a pocketknife and a crummy rasp so I apologize if I don't post progress pics very often. Adb, I now have a shorter string and I'm gonna look into getting a tillering tree soon.  Also, I have another warbow #110@30 that is the same lam combo as this one and it has performed fantastic for over a year, so I remain very hopeful for this one.

fishfinder401:
wow! for only those tools this is very good, the tiller dos look better in the second picture and if you've had success with the combo before, than theres no reason to doubt it
good luck

Advice to get a proper length string on is good. A long string can tend to make outer limbs and tips look stiff. When the low brace height string is put on you them find you have weak outer limbs!
Get a string on that gives about 5 inches brace height and then just check the bend, exercise it a very little and work for an even bend at brace and work from there.
Good luck,
Mark in England
