I am going to put together a draw board for the house. Tired of drive 45 minutes to my archery club when I have something I want to check on one of my bows. Looking for some pictures of what you all have built.
What do you mean by"draw board"?

Compound guys use them, basically a winch that draws the bow back to see cam rotation and timing.
I see no reason for one with recurves and longbows
Is he referring to a tiller tree ??
I think it is similar like a tiller tree.
Like the pics below.

I would think a tillering tree would serve most purposes with a good scale drawing the sting. I'm happy with just my digital scale suspended from a basement joist and a marked arrow, but that would not address any tiller issues.

I wish you were in the KY area. I built one, still new, just like Trasher's second photo and would give it to you. I built it this past year to use with my compound and then shortly afterwards sold the compound, and will not be using it.
If for any reason you or a friend may be traveling through here on a vacation, etc., just let me know.
I like to use one to check the draw weight on my traditional bows. Nice to know I am getting the weight marked on the bow at a specific draw length. It seems my ILF limbs are not always accurate.
Never used a tiller tree but sounds like a similar contraption.
I get it, tillering tree.
Go on the bowyer's bench and ask to see some pictures. You will get plenty of help.
