my second bow - a osage static
« on: March 21, 2015, 10:40:48 am »
here is my second attempt on a osage static. The bow is 58½” ntn. Weight is 48#/28”. The stave had a twist of about 30°, which I heated out. Also had to correct string alignment of 2”. The statics are steamed in. Tips and arrowplate are buffalo. I know tiller isn't perfect, but the stick shoots very well so I leave it as it is.
mass is 452g.

Great looking bow all around. Plenty of character and what looks like a pretty good bend to me.
