Final Tiller on Mary Rose replica
D. Tiller:
Dont know if anyone has covered this or not. But next time get the handle and to move durring the last couple inches of draw. Looks a bit stiff in the handle and just up from there on the upper limb. Nice job though! I love Yew wood!
YewArcher:
Yes, looks a bit stiff. I would bet that when she goes to 32" she will bend out.
We will see.

The mid section is still somehow long and stiff. That said, MR originalls at least to judge from what seen on BBC were eliptically tilered, but with very high degree of circularity. A bow of this size when tilered perfectly circular will have the curve similar to circle of about 3 meters in diameter.
I found usefulon ANY bow to aim for wide tip, which both gives enough material midlimb toa chieve weight and also keeps the tips stiff and the set thus is minimalised. Also keeping the mid portion (means handle area plus minus 4´´ somehow stiff till the last tilering step is beneficial, because it is easy to overdo and end with bow which has too much mid-bend. Thus slow and shocky bastard.

Looks great to me. Wish I could make a bow like that.
No picture of a bow seems complete without a few baloons in the background.
juniper junkie:
have you shot the bow much? I would think that they would have quite a bit of handshock. I made one for a guy who provided the stave, it was 72" long and came in at 65# @29" and shot very well, but had some hand shock to it. just curious if these heavy bows are a brute to shoot. :)
