:mad: While tillering my 11th bow, it blew!It was a maple board backed with drywall tape but it was only 1 1/4 wide.That's narrower than suggested but I had the piece laying around so I thought I'd try it. I guess you learn by making shavings and breaking a few.
There's some board stuff on my site. Picking a board of the proper grain is important. Jawge
