JNystrom:
Thanks again! Yep, i like some curves also... And actually they are not that hard to tiller once you get couple of them right.
I have some more warbows to post as soon i just get pictures taken. 140# osage and about 160# really knotty elm, those are funky. :D

FilipT:
I don't get it how that kink can survive forces while bending?

JNystrom:
Its magic... ;) Well, how do wonky wood stand in the forest?? Do you think the already bent part shouldnt bend?

FilipT:
It seems to me that these kind of kinks could easily become hinges if not careful. That is the the thing that worries me.

DC:
I would think it would be the opposite. Because it's already bent(in deflex) the tendency would be to leave it and it would be stiff. The bends on either side of the kink are a different story :D
