Title: Tiller Check
Post by: bowhntineverythingnh03743 on September 08, 2013, 01:43:00 PM
Here is my latest project. Got the tips roughed out and the edges rounded over. Couldn't help but string her up and get a full draw picture up. What do you think? Right now I'm at 54# and looking to stop right at 50#. Handle is next to be shaped right after a quick nap!

Looking good. By the time the handle is shaped you should be close on weight.

I have made weight... One thing I screwed up on is positioning the action wood riser the wrong way. My bad but still works I guess. Just would look better turned 90 degrees.
