The pictures was the very first bend on the tiller stick,I got off the handle area and have been
working the rest of the limbs to get them working,I usuall try and save the fades and handle
area till last.If you get set there it really shows up a lot so I go easy on that.The jig that this was put on has about 3-4 inches of back set.We have some that will put 6 inches or more depending
on how much it hold after heating.I usually do 2 to 4 in. and that seems to be enough.These
snaky staves you have to go slow,for some reason in the snake areas they will hinge very
easy.I don't know if the wood is weak in that area or not but I do know if you ant careful
you will get a hinge there quick.I usuall try and tiller them in 3 or 4 sessions with a lot of rest
and exercising in between.I will post some pictures in a day or 2 and see what yall think so far.
