Pat B:
Thanks for your phone call and help today, Brad. I think I'll try the temporary nocks inside the cut in nocks tomorrow and get her braced.
Thanks, Dave.

Pat B:
I need to brace this bow so I can see how the string tracks and get a real idea about the tiller. Yesterday I got a call from Brad Smith. Brad is a sinew backed bow enthusiasts and has taken an interest in this build. He asked me how I planned to brace the bow with this much reflex then suggested temporary nocks. He said what he does is tie a piece of leather below the nocks and use a tiller string at those temporary nocks to bend the bow while putting a string on the regular nocks...so that's what I did...
...then I tied on a para cord tiller string using bowyers knots. This worked great but once I got the string on I could tell the string was tracking to the left of the bow.
now I'll go back and shape the tips and do some heat correcting on the levers to get the string to line up. More to come.
