I wrote them yesterday about shipment. They are get with me next day or so. I would think they gotta ship soon?

You bet Shawn, beautiful morning for sure. Now this morning I got a little wet, but Beautiful Easter morning in God's creation just the same.

Had a great weekend, not many visitor's , just a few hard core folks, but had a good time and got a lot done in the shop. Here are a few pictures.

Got my snake bow walking stick and quiver done , except for the finish.

Sally cleaning the grill for me.

Shawn also got his side quiver almost finished, it turned out very nice. We cut the walnut last year on the farm.

Big A showed up with his dog to do some bow work. My girls love it when they have company.

Shawn and I Turkey hunted Saturday morning, he killed a nice Jake, we had a beautiful morning, cool and crisp.

Also put a grip and tip on the last bow after it was shot in. Sister in her spot resting after a long day.

My 2 bows shot in and ready for skins and finish. 1 came in 50@26 and the other 53@26. I wanted some a little heaver than I normally shoot which is about 45@26 for Beau and my Elk /Mule deer hunt this coming September so these should fit the bill. Clean and smooth to shoot, nothing fancy, just a good reliable bow.

Hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good.

Bow looks good. Wet yes, I'm going to go out later today for the Gobs.

Need to put this "Wuhan Cure" bow on the form again. Tips are flipped but have to line up this upper limb a bit. Those big dished valleys on the back are really hard to deal with in tiller. Get it just a hair to thin in center of belly and its gonna do like Michael's but worse.

Somethin to be said for nice concentric growth rings I reckon.
