Title: A little peek at an Osage Static
Post by: Danzn Bar on May 11, 2018, 06:14:01 pm: Here is an Osage Static I started at Twin Oaks a while back. The stave had some faint reds streaks in it. I've shot it a few times and it seams to have pretty good cast. Use a number of different woods as accents. I'm planning on backing it at Marshall with a Black Snake skin my wife and I found together.
The first picture is at 25"
The second picture is at 27"
Working it to 48# and 28"
Thanks for looking.....

And, of course, that handle is just plain sexy!

Little heavy for Sharon. Otherwise she'd be bugging you all week to take it home with her!

Title: Re: A little peek at an Osage Static
Post by: Danzn Bar on May 12, 2018, 05:32:45 pm: Thanks Guys,
I didn't have enough wood on the stave to do a pistol grip so I glued some to it to make up the thickness. that's the reason for the under cut at the heel of the handle. But it looks pretty cool to me and lessens the weight just a bit.
Thanks again,
Till next time,
DBar

Thanks guys
dolgima,
Steamed in the recurve in the Osage. The walnut underlay is not doing anything for strength. So I just cut it out matching the finished recurve. I have found walnut doesn't bend well for me.
Thanks again guys

Post by: Danzn Bar on May 18, 2018, 08:31:46 pm: Thanks Stix. sorry for knocking your hat in the creek :)
Yea Pearl, still lear'n .....every day I'm alive ...buddy ;) You know it's all about what you start with. A old football coach once said (not to me) you can't make chicken salad out of chicken $h1t, you've got to have a little chicken to start with. :) :)
BTW...I've added a few things to it that I'm having trouble with, I'll show you guys at Marshall.
