Great relaxing weekend, had time in the shop and shot the range a couple of times, also done about a 3 mile hike with 35 lb pack, time to start getting ready for the out west trip in the fall. Got my knife scales[Camel bone] glued up/sanded down and ready to seal, and handle hemp wrapped on my new Osage bow along with striker plate and shelf pad.

Put about 100 arrows through it over the weekend and still holding good back set and not much set , maybe an inch over all, it was a really good old piece of wood, over 30 years old. I know we have had a lot of conversations over the years about dry wood or seasoned, in my mind seasoned is much much better. JMO.
