Title: A couple in the works
Post by: bubby on March 10, 2017, 10:14:12 pm

Got a couple shooting this week, one is a hackberry pyramid with flipped tips rhe otheris osage, it was a twisted gnarly crooked pain in my butt but several runs with a heatgun tamed it some what, the handle is off set enough it is practically centershot, i should finish them in a few days(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20170304_144847756_zpsv17dupxy.jpg) (http://s623.photobucket.com/user/bubncheryl/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20170304_144847756_zpsv17dupxy.jpg.html)

The bends on both of those look great. I especially like the look of the gradual recurves toward the tips. I take it they'll be working some?

Watching with interest what you're doing, Bub.
Those set off handles are loving to torque the bow sometimes, let's hear what yours does.

Looking good Bub, what are the specs on that hackberry? I was thinking of doing the same design on  the first hackberry stave when it's dry.

Those are coming along good!  I am curious about how that off center handle shoots too.  Like Simon mentioned, I have noticed that some of them want to torque in your hand a bit.  You got them bending good bubby.  Can't wait to see them all finished up.

Looking forward to seeing them all finished up Bub

Simon, morgan, there is some torque stringing that bow but i don't notice any when I'm shooting it
