Most guys use a pulley system which is the best mine is just a 2 by 4 with notches cut down it and a little slot on the end of the board to put the bow on Mine is the easiest way but I only use it for early tillering up till I get to half drawn and then I quit using the tree because I don't like letting a bow just sit drawn
I like osage

Joec, you are referring to a tillering stick.  Much different than a tillering tree.

A tiller tree doesn't need any plans.  It can be a simple as a small piece of 2x4 mounted on the wall at eye level to set your bow on, with a rope and pulley mounted directly below, a few inches off the floor.  Most people use a ruler of some sort for measuring the draw length, and an in-line scale to see the weight you are drawing.

It's easy, no plans necessary.

Well, one is static, and the other is dynamic. I guess that's pretty much the same... ::)
