Hello fellas,
I'm new here, found this page recently. I'm living in Bavaria, Germany.
I have posted some bows on PP since spring this year.
Now, here is the last one: osage static recurve
This osage has a big curve in the upper limb, comin from a dead branch . Cross section is nearly rectangle from fades to midlimb then tapers into a stacked belly until it reaches the stringbridge. The levers has an almost triangular cross section, ore more like a T. Stiff handle and fades, buffalo horn inlays, overlays and arrowpass.The handle was requested by the custumer - not my favorite design. Recurves are steamed in, several heat corrections for string alignment, heating out a deflex area and to bring the levers in line. In this stave were several deep drying cracks, I filled them up with superglue.
59" ntn
5³/4" bh
4" handle
4" fades
4" levers
39" bending part
string 6 strands of 452 X, strengthened at the ears
