Tiller check - Pyramid Maple Bow

<< < (2/5) > >>

Kidder:
+2 for right limb mid and outer being stiff.

willie:
differences in bend are not easy to spot in the "whole" sometimes but become easier with tracing techniques
examples
make tracings of the back on cardboard behind the tillertree
compare segments of the limb with a straight edge
flip the bow end for end and view the bow against the tracing

make a tracing of the bow at rest in order to monitor set as you tiller out further

If I ever get my garage cleaned up enough to move my tree inside, I really want to put a grid on the wall behind it.  I think that would be a lot easier.  It makes me appreciate our ancestors who could do this basically just with floor tillering.  I have a terrible time seeing anything like this that way.  It must take a ton of experience.

Will B:
I agree with pappy and think it looks good. I would continue on and best of luck with it.

Jake Spoon:
Thanks everyone for the input!

I worked a little bit this evening on trying to get everything evened up.

Here's the current progress.
