My first Bow NEW PICS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: January 06, 2008, 06:47:43 pm »
 ;D  Ive started my first bow. It's a Osage stave and snakey. I plan to add some snake skin to the bow if all goes well. It also has a small crack but it looks like it will go away. I plan to keep you posted if at all possible.

I've got a recurve going right now with a sizable crack in the middle of one limb. Maybe we could share our experiences on this one. Don't have a picture right now but won't take long..

Paul the crack on knappers stave starts bout 6" from the tip and they are already purty narrow, bout 5/8". I think it will come out but will prolly have to settle for a 35-40 lb. bow. He was hopin for closer to 50 lbs. Good luck with yours....Brian

Might consider cutting the tips down some, to increase the bow weight.

Thanks Brian - I just hope she don't blow ;D. I was trying to remove some propeller from that limb (which I did) but during the process something popped and voila there was the crack :'(. It's about ten iches long and doesn't run out anywhere - I've filled it with super glue and it seems to be holding. Am going to back with sinew, hope that's enough. If not I've gained a lot of experience nonetheless..
