Rabbit stick
Aaron1726:
Good luck with it, it's looking good so far. I need to find myself another crooked limb, all this talk has me wanting to make another too! :)
GlisGlis:
thanks Aaron
I strongly suggest you to check THIS PAGE and make sure to press the "view all 166 figures & tables" button to see all pictures.
there are sticks that are works of art!
note how many do have grooves! I need to make grooves in mines too (lol)
I also suspect that many of them do not have a proper foil profile. just a thin slab with almost flat top and bottom
Aaron1726:
Cool stuff on there! Thanks for sharing. One of the s shaped ones would be really cool. Always amazes me when you see things like this where multiple cultures around the world develop such similar technology independently. I guess great minds really do think alike.

that's why the grooves thing puzzles me
it's present in different cultures around the world
it must have a specific function!
GlisGlis:
Dropped 1/4 weight, flattened the profiles and tips, almost eliminated any twist.
Gained an average of 10 yards with less lift
then hit a log and broke the sticks at the knot in the handle
I kind of expected it as the knot was very deep and the wood was already damaged
I'm hooked tough.
I had the chance to throw it at a rat and although i missed it by a mile I loved how that gliding effect makes the stick alive.
Now if only i had some bent log in my stash of perfectly straight staves ! :D
