Question on tillering a snake bow?
Selfbowman:
Ok here is a pic to try to explain what I’m saying. The top of the T is the ticker part of the limb and the bottom of the T is thinner. A straight line all the way across the limb would be the same thickness all the way across the limb. The blue line represents the center of the limb.
Selfbowman:
This tillering method would welcome Eric’s tillering gizmo.
Selfbowman:
Check out the two growth rings on the end of the blank! Not my most favorable choice but we will see what comes from it.
Eric Krewson:
That will be a challenging stave to tiller. I made most of my snaky bows out of sister billets instead of staves, this way I could orientate limbs to be in line and have the snakes match better through the length of the stave.
You can see how the limbs match in this sister billet snake bow. In the picture I am putting the final finish over the skins.
Selfbowman:
Eric I can see what you are talking about. Everything comes to rest the same less vibration.
