 Hey Pappy, I seen some of your reletives out in the field while I was there in Texas over the weekend.....At least I think they were related cause the horns looked just the same......lol,,,,
 Please tell me that is a stack of firewood in the background and not a stack of staves,,,,,,,,LOl,,,,,Keenan

Hay Keenan:
That in the background is firewood.  I have seen their stack of staves... It is much much bigger!!!!  No kidding

Pappy:  I am going to bring an Osage stave to the classic to have recurved like that.

Pappy:
Yes them are stave's,but ridge is right we have a stack muck bigger than that.Them are just kind of the culls,just kidding. ;D We don't plane on deflexing them,this is Ryano method of building a recurve so when he gets down in May he is going to have to show us a thing or 3 about how in the world you go about tillering them. :)

Pappy, careful...if Ryan hears we're going to put him to work, he may not come down! ;D

I tried to copy the forms as closely as I could from pictures Ryan had posted on a build along he did. Made both a working recurve form and a static recurve form. We bent three bows across the working recurve and also one static this weekend. Planning on bending several more this next weekend. Pretty cool the first time to see that wood take such an extreme bend without going...snap!

I tried to get Pappy to place a caption on one of those pictures..."how many rednecks does it take to recurve a bow!". ;D

It was a lot of fun, now just to learn the best way to tiller them. ;)

Dustybaer:
greg, how many rednecks will it take to brace that beast for the first time?  you guys are having way to much fun  ;D
