What Did You Do Today?
Danzn Bar:
Was working on an HHB static.....steamed the first tip in..... "perfect". the second not so perfect.........There was a very small knot or change in the grain that I didn't see right at the bend and ...wow it broke across the whole tip, this one will be a kids bow.....Oh well....Wood is wood and you cant get disapointed, So I picked up a stave I had cut out at Twin Oaks a few weeks ago and got it down to the dimensions I needed with a bandsaw and belt sander. Since I had the steamer out I went ahead a steam in some statics in the osage. All I can say is Osage is the King ....the statics turned out great and I will be posting this bow later. This has been a good day!

Was wondering how the HHB steaming went for you Bill. It's nothing like Osage that's for sure. Hope you didn't have to much time into it already.

Hey BJ.................It was all my part, the stave had a small knot at the bend and it should have not been a static recurve. The stave would have made a great longbow................this is a perfect example of not doing what the "Stave Tells You To Do".....I should have looked the stave over better and seen the knot and made a longbow out of it. It doesn't mater how many bows you make you still have to pay attention to the details.
Thanks
DBar
