Osage Static Recurve Selfbow
« on: November 22, 2011, 09:42:37 pm »
Sheesh, it's been awhile since I posted a bow.  Not that I haven't been making them but with as much stuff as as we've been through over the last months and taking my time, well she's done.  I'm proud of this one, but of course, have 3 other projects going at the same time!
Got the stave at Pappy's last May from KerryB.  She is 59" ntn pulling about 61 or 62 # at 28".  There is a protruding arrow rest from the stave itself, a small detail but first time I did that.  Fast flight string and buffalo horn overlaying the pin nocks.  I wrapped her in blue and green wool yarn.  I like the way the wool feels on the grip as I'm not much on leather, I've found.  I also wrapped the ends which has a nice affect to sort of dampen the string at release. 

I've been wanting a bow like this for three years.  Now, it's time to give it away. ;D

 That is a great looking bow, Steve. I've never thought of using the yarn. Did you soak it in glue? And, I've got one that could be it's twin almost finished for December.

I considered soaking it but didn't, which is nice because it's kinda soft but still grippy.  It doesn't take long to do the wrap and I've got that "no knot-reverse wrap" thing down, so I figure if it gets too frayed up, well hey, you could always change the color scheme in less than an hour and raid Angie's stash.
It's the first time I did it, but definitely see some experimenting coming down the road with it. ;D

Steve that came out great. You nailed the tiller on that one and love the tip overlays and wraps. Congratulations on a fine shooter.

Really nice bow. tiller is sweet and I think the overlays on the pin nocks are cool. The color combo on the wrappings are nice as well.

Great bow, looks really fast :)

Never seen wool on a grip....  I'd like to see how you did the wrap and how you get it to stay together?

Gret work!!!
