Title: Tiller check.
Post by: BOWMAN53 on March 20, 2014, 12:49:19 am

I think the top outer is stiff. I did have a hinge in the bottom limb but I got rid of it, mostly.

we need an unbraced profile to see the dips and bends in the stave, if there are any

From the pic it looks flat in the upper half to the tip and maybe a little bit right out of the fade. Looking good !

The tiller looks very good. I usually leave them stiff too. Jawge

Hard to say without an unbraced pic and the front profile.  If you would be so kind as to put those up, I would be glad to try and help.  ;)  Josh

I'm seeing the stiff spots out of the fades now too. Thanks guys. Here's an unbraced pic. Back to the right. Parallel limbs till about 12" from the tips.
