Hey guys, I've got a problem. I'm working on an ash bow project, but I feel like I'm risking my life with every stroke of the plane. It's a bit like gambling it's hit or miss and given the price of wood at the moment, I don't really want to lose my stake straight away. Honestly, I don't know everything, and I feel like I'm gambling with my tillering. Do you guys have any tips or tricks to make sure it works? Something to make it a little stronger without costing me an arm and a leg in equipment. If anyone has a reliable tip, I'm all ears, because I admit I'm stuck a bit and I don't want to end up with a toothpick.

You should probably post this in the bow making section. My only suggestion it to make yourself a tillering gizmo to tell you where to remove wood during tillering. The instructions are the first post in the "How Too and Build Along" section on the main menu.
