| you would need to decide there you wanted the grip, where you wanted the window, and get a pencil out, sketch it out on the riser, and get rasping. once you have the riser shape you want, and the bow shape you want, then you can start taking in the limbs to a set width. Then the steps would involve, making the limbs pull straight, making them in balance, and making them to the approx weight we have predicted/ weight you wanted. This is the juggling act involved in tillering a bow. These are recurves which are a little harder than flatbows, and longbows, as the recurve action can change the straighness though the draw cycle. This is a opertunity for a experienced "tillerer" to try something a little different, or someone who knows the theory, but wants a bash. The limbs will fit most trad bows with a little wood working skills, then the tillering process needs to take place!.
The limbs are mostly 1.75 inches in width, for the entire length, from tip to limb butt. |
