goodonya mate- had me going!

David Flanrey · October 31, 2015, 04:51:00 PM

Working on another short static recurve. Profiled limbs and go it strung up today. Man these statics are much harder for me to build than longbows.

That looks great.

David Flanrey · October 31, 2015, 07:26:00 PM

Thanks Monterey. I have some work to do yet on the tiller and shaping the riser. Need to get her done b4 Christmas!

kennym · October 31, 2015, 08:56:00 PM

I'd be interested in how she stacks up in performance against the TD longbows! Curves are harder for me too! Lookin good man!

David Flanrey · October 31, 2015, 09:03:00 PM

Kenny we will have two of my curves and a longbow at your place next week. Lets do some testing. Do you have a chronograph?

kennym · October 31, 2015, 09:36:00 PM

That's why I like them, the challenge.

Nice static!

Worked a little more on the curve. Glued on some tip overlays and started shaping riser.

Nicely done David!

Roy from Pa · November 02, 2015, 05:46:00 PM

Stained some arrows and then sealed with gasket lacquer. Just stained here.

Hang them up between coats to dry.

Use a dip tube.

4 coats and done.

It's bow season in the shop. We have 4 kids bows to make before we make our own.

Roy from Pa · November 02, 2015, 05:53:00 PM

Bue sent me some compressed beech, got it Z spliced up.

Glued two at a time, Osage and the Beech.

I wrap the glue joint with freezer paper, wax side towards the glue. Peels off real slick.

David Flanrey · November 02, 2015, 06:48:00 PM

Wow Roy, you've been busy!! Lookin good.

Compressed Beech?

bigbob2 · November 03, 2015, 02:11:00 AM

off to hospital in the morning [6.15!] to have double knee replacement.Sure hope it all goes well. Maybe I'll be able to get about easier then.

Roy from Pa · November 03, 2015, 04:15:00 AM
