Not a bad question sir! I have often wished this wonderful site had a comprehensive  list of archery definitions!

Tillering is just adjusting the bend of the limbs by selectively removing limb material until they are properly balanced.

TBBIV has a glossery of archery terms in the back on page 313. On page 322..."Tiller, Tillering: the process of removing wood from a stave such that the bow bends to intended shape, draw length and draw weight. Also, the side-view shape of the drawn bow"

That's right Burt. Some bowyers don't tiller specifically for split or three under. If you buy a used bow just tune it in and enjoy shooting it.
