150lb at 30" English Yew bow
selfbow joe:
Nice work
WillS:
Cheers folks. I've got a vast amount of English yew of better quality than that stuff seasoning, so I'll make the exact same bow a few more times and see where the weights end up.

Hi Will
Nice bow as usual.
When making replicas do you follow the dimensions and then tiller accordingly or do you leave the tiller as is if safe, thereby keeping the dimensions true to the original?

WillS:
This was such a clean stave that I worked it down to final dimensions straight away, fitted the nocks and then checked the tiller. It needed virtually nothing doing to it save for a few adjustments at around 25".
If I'm making Mary Rose "style" bows, I use a set of measurements I averaged out from all the bows put together, add a few mm to everything and go from there.
Marc St Louis:
Very nice. Looks a bit whip tillered though ;)
