Sister statics (No. 73 + 74) part 1 Post categories In Bows 2 Comments on Sister statics (No. 73 + 74) part 1 The proud new owner in action …. And here is the story: Some time ago my friend Alfred asked me to make an osage static for him. I found a nice stave, wide enough to split again but not deep enough for a stiff handle (what he requested). Well splitting and recurving went o.k. without any problems, but the stave was a very pronounced sabre. You can see it here: After some side corrections and the blanks looked like this: Assuming the wood quality is just the same on both, I thought it will be an interesting project to see two different weight bows coming out of this two sisters. Alfred wanted a 40-45 at his 26 draw. The second should be for me with a 65 at 28 draw. I worked on both and finished Alfred’s, mine still needs some tiller corrections and finish work, I will show it ilater when finished. Both bows are worked on, pretty identical: Same form recurves Same handle stile Same horn overlays and arrow pass Different is: The tips are a bit wider on mine The heated in reflex is huge on mine (difficult to string) Mine is now 50 grams = 1,76 oz heavier (will be less after tiller finish) Here are some pics showing the diffs and the cons –———————————————— Here is Alfred’s Specs: 61” ntn 44#/ 27” 1¼” max width 511 grams mass = 18 oz Tags asymmetric, osage, static recurve Post navigation ←Previous post:Osage static for Wald, 44#/28”, (No. 72)→Next post:osage sinewed shorty with static recurves (No. 71) BUILDALONG 2 Comments Hallo Meister, wie biegst Du denn diese Kurven?

Hallo Meister,

Mit HLP, Dampf, oder kochst Du das Holz?

Servus Peter,
