Hey kent, I know I still have 2 bows that need final touches with tiller, but I started chasing a ring on another stave I have. I think chasing the rings is theopeutic in some way. But anyway, there is a ring I like, but don't think I will have enough room for the handle. Is it simple as going down to that ring, roughing out the belly and adding a handle and then tillering?

You can do that, as long as you have a static handle area. If I understand right, you are saying that your handle area is going to be the same wideth as the top of your fades? If that is the case, you need to be careful with bending in the handle, which could cause you to pop off your handle. If it is thick enough to where you get no bend in the handle area, yea, you can just glue on a handle. Ive done it before. What id do would be, tiller it out with out the handle. If you are not getting any bend in your handle area, glue on a block and make a handle. If you get a simi bending handle area, id glue on leather pads, then wrap the handle with leather and make a simibending handled bow. It all depends on how thick your handle area is.
