Title: first bow: HHB sapling coming right along
Post by: Matt A on March 29, 2012, 02:32:51 AM

spent a few hours with a man who knows what he's doing and after him mentoring me through floor tillering and tillering we had the same stave I posted pics of earlier at my full draw.
haven't weighed it yet but it's 67 t2t and about 66 ntn. tiller is a tad off but we didn't wanna sacrifice it's wieght. friday we're finishing it up.

woops worded that wrong  ;) meant for it to say we tillered it out to full draw and had pics of the rough stave earlier lol
we glued 2 thin curly maple laminations on the tips and put it up to dry.
