Goodness burn, I can't believe you flew thru a bow that quick. I worked two hours this weekend with the gizmo you showed me. It made all the difference in the world tillering.

That bow you built is a my dreambow to build.

Did you notice that I had my pencil screwed in the wrong way in the pics of that tiller tool I posted. I was not using the pencil at the time and took it out, then put it back in for the pic.. It works much better if the nut is on the outside. That way you have more pencil to screw into the tool for fine adjustments. The way I had it, the pencil taper would be in the threads instead of the thick part of the pencil.

So, it sounds like I have all the tools I need to start a IPE/Boo bow myself. Just need to find some of the walnut. I saw some on ebay.

What is your handle made out of?
