Answer this question 1 answer A: More than likely you will need to remove more material than if you just used the osage, but I would recommend removing the material during the tillering process as opposed to before you start tillering. That way you can make sure that you do not remove too much material. Answered on 1/10/2013 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery Q: Do you have any other woods to work with? I would like to make a Yew self-bow. Also, do you carry this lumber in thicker specs? Such as 1" thick or more? Asked on 10/29/2012 by Rich from Fort Wayne, IN Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: The only other wood we offer for building a bow is Hickory board lumber. Unfortunately we do not have any wood that is 1'' thick.

Answered on 10/25/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery Q: Can you use this lumber to make a reflex/deflex bow if you back it with glass or bamboo and use a form like the ones sold with your bow kits? Asked on 9/9/2012 by keithg27 from davis ca Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: This is a very thick piece of wood to make a laminated bow with. This is better suited for a single backing or a board bow. Answered on 9/11/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery Q: what does it mean while tillering when they say that the bow has a hinge flaw or default? Asked on 8/30/2012 by rusty from Portsmouth Ohio Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: A hinge is a section of the limb that is bending a lot more than the rest of the limb. To remove the hinge you will have to tiller the rest of the limb to match the hinge to even it out. A hinge will make you drop your weight in the bow since you now have to remove more wood. Answered on 9/5/2012 by Art from 3Rivers Archery Q: when tillering this osage wood is it recommended to put a backing on it while you are doing it? Asked on 8/30/2012 by rusty from Portsmouth Ohio Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: You will want to install the backing before you start tillering. If the backing is not installed before even floor tillering a piece of lumber the piece will be more likely break on you.
