Guava Harvest !!
« on: July 27, 2007, 06:37:52 am »
A few members of Primitive Archer asked for staves,...but when I went harvest I got a bit crazy with the chain saw.

Pat B., Gordon, J.pitts, Robinwho, you can either pick your stave from the pictures or i can pick it for you ;), D.Tiller, yours is the long one.

I turned down several requests for staves in the last few months because i never thought I would have the time, but if someone is still interested here's a chance.


...Moderators, if this thead isn't cool, just take it away, I'll understand :)

Manny, I would love to have one, but take care of everyone else who had put in requests, of course, since I'm a latecomer.

Thanks,

Manny, I got a question though. How do the tips line up on the stave? If they dont what should I do to align the string? Also, how thick is the stave? I'm starting to think how I'm going to put it all together in my mind. My hands are starting to twitch now that I've had a visual on it. Now just need to hone the tools and place them on my table in surgical order!  ;D

Reminds me of the old ketchup commercial "Anticipation...its keeping me waiting!"  ;D

The tips alling, there's a tiny bit of snakeyness on the outher upper limb that after you take the stave close to dimention you could easyly steam straten , but it's not necessary, only cosmetic ;D.

I'll go mesure the baby

Manny that one on the far right looks like an ambush bow candidate, if such interests you.  Good to see you posting work again.

Hey, mentioned it on the other board, but after looking at it some more I thought I should attempt to claim it again, I like the screwy ones (just look at my friends for prof, lol). I'll see if I can strike a trade with you for the one fourth from the left.
