Looking good :)

It looks like there are two strings on the bow in pic *IMG_4254.JPG*. Is it braced there, or with a long string? I can't tell. If it is with a long string, try shortening the string as much as possible. Do you know at what draw weight you are now? When making a heavy warbow, you should try to pull your bow to full draw weight as early on in the process as possible.

thank you~
it's still at long string phase now. the short one is just what i used to check the height, not a string for this bow. you mean if i want a 100# bow, i should pull it to 100# as early as possible, and then tiller it from that draw length to 30-32"? What if the belly wood over compresses before i get the ideal poundage and would it cause a set? i really don't know much about the warbow tiller. it seems that there are a lot of secrets!
tell me, pls.

Read this post on my blog, it tries to explain the difference in poundage with a long string and a braced bow.

I draw a picture to show. is that right?
if I didn't get my purpose poundage using a long string at braced height, i would never get it later, right?

No!
In picture number 3. The important thing is the tip deflection of the bow. (NOT the string position)
When the tips come back 6", then fit a short string.
See new picture...
Also long string should be only just long enough to get on the bow... not like in your picture.
