Ya I figured that would be next for me ,as soon as I get the 33 arrows done I plan on starting on them. They should be dry now the hot box is at about 85 and MC at around 30/35.I had to add a bucket of water in front of the heat to bring it up some it was down to 10/15 % and I think that is to low even for Hickory. :) The water seems to be doing the trick. :)

Well, 2.5 hours for me.  ;D ;D ;D

I'll be there on Thursday for the Calssic. Just can't wait that long, so I'll be there tomorrow night.  ;D


I've got three nephews chompin' at the bit for bows, and a Little Bear who's outgrown the one I made him last year. So I'll be bringing four kiddo staves in addition to the ones I'm working for myself. Gotta squeeze in a round of 3D and some beer time too. It's a tough life, but it's good. ;D
