Title: Handle question
Post by: osagehickory on October 20, 2010, 12:01:00 AM
I am getting ready to put my first hickory bow on the tillering stick.  My grip/handle is roughed out.  Does it need to be finished more before I tiller it on stick?

Thanks

No! I leave my handles and tips wide until I'm sure everything lines up. Generally the handle is the last thing I do to a bow. This way I can allign the bow to the string if necessary.
