Recurve Tiller

(1/4) > >>

ShorterJ:
I just wanted to get some opinions on tiller incase I’m missing something.  This is a pretty stressed design in my opinion, so I want the tiller spot on.  The top limb has a little bit of positive tiller.  I’ve never tillered a recurve until now and have only made four bows so far.  Needless to say I’m pretty new at this.  Tillering definitely plays tricks on my mind and makes me feel like I’m going crazy and seeing things.  I don’t have the best set up, so I apologize if the pictures are subpar.

HT Hickory 62”ntn
~50# at 28”
~1 5/8- 1 3/4” wide, taper at mid limb to 1/2” tips
4” stiff handle and 2” fades
Sharp, static recurves and holds some reflex

ShorterJ:
Unstrung pics

Uhhh dude, that looks beautiful.  First recurve or not that looks like an arra slanger right there.  Probably more technical opinions to come but I say great job. 

Will B:
I think you nailed it. The tiller looks good to my eye and that unbraced profile supports that. Beautiful hickory recurve. Well done!

ShorterJ:
I hope so. Time will tell.  Every time I look at it I feel like it looks different.  My eyes are playing tricks on me.
