This pic is before I eased off that right limb which is a bit stiff just right of centre limb, and just right of grip.
It's back to 150# at 26" now, maybe some more tomorrow, I'll get the outers coming round some more.  :)

Ruddy Darter:
Good going Del, that looks a pretty nice stave too.. what length do you have on that stave?
  Looking forward to seeing progress, and good tip on drawing it to the intended weight throughout tillering, thanks.

Nice stave, only problems are the grain is slightly diagonal, sapwood is a good bit thicker on one limb and a wicked undulation/knot near the end of the right limb, mind that will be a cool bit of character when it's finished if it doesn't explode. There's a bit of blue grey discolouration on it too in one patch, but it feels pretty sound.

Ruddy Darter:
Nice length...should be a right punchy bow if you get near that weight. Best of luck with it.

FilipT:
Damn, what a thick piece of wood! Del, is any difference between tillering the warbow and tillering stiff handled bows? I mean, in regard to the rule you pointed out "always pull to the intended draw weight, see if it has even bend".

Also I didn't understood what you said about long string? Something about if its on that and that, then it is that on that? Yeah it sounds like gibberish, but didn't know how else to ask.
