How do you secure a bow in the tillering tree?

Yeah, I'm not at brace yet. Just working on the long string.

I find a bow can be prone to tipping on the tiller tree, if its reflexed or recurved and at low brace height. A small clamp as mentioned earlier will help, but getting it braced high enough usually solves the problem.

Well, I don't, honestly. I never was one to follow the rules, and this is no exception. I put the string on the tree and pull the bow down. It's easier that way.

ya this is what i do as well for some builds. I built a contraption so I can clamp it down and pull up on the string with the belly side up. This will allow me to scrape the belly while its clamped down and get the initial bend looking good fairly quickly without taking the bow off and on during the process. after full brace i put up on the tree on the wall. I use a leather type saddle to cradle the bow handle then pull down on the string to get a different look and approaching about 3/4 of full draw on the tree.

What method do you use to connect the rope to the bow?
