Sorry to hear that Sadie.

I worked on a trade bow I'm trying to finish before I join the one here.



I shaped the handle and added overlays. They are tigerwood.



The string lines up well after just one heat session. I need to drop weight some more.




I keep working that snakey spot but it is being stubborn. I still have room so hopefully it will come around.

Thanks bud. ;D

This is the second time I've tried the curved tip thingy. This one looks better than the first time. I can't wait to see how that skin looks under finish cuz I got one in mind. >:D

After suffering a terrible defeat at the hands of Osage and boo, I decided to get the bad taste out of my mouth with this little bit of wood sitting in the corner. It has a naturally deflexed handle and I gave the limbs a touch of reflex. After tillering I decided they were long enough and so I just recently reworked the tips. This stick is waiting to be shot in before I cover its nakedness.

I tried to gently flip the tips on a HHB in progress with a heat gun.  CRACK!  This is the second time I have tried it with HHB and failed both times.  I guess it is steam from now on.  Luckily I was watching for it this time and as soon as I saw it start I released the clamp.  I think I can scrape it out.

I met with a landowner today to give him wildlife habitat imrovement advise.  He'd pushed the edge of a pasture with a dozer to increase his open land potential.  The edge was full of really straight, tall, potential bow, osage trees.  Literally, I bet he piled up, 300-500 potential staves... 

Funny how your perspectives change after you split a few hedgeapple logs.. :)

Wooo Hoooo!  Got a long package today for Seabass,,,,,,,,, This baby put one heck of a nice grin on my face.  A New 7 ft med/heavy Ungly Stik Tiger Rod  with a 340 GT 2 Pen reel.  This is the sturgeon fisherm dream pole for sure. Absolutely going to enjoy this one. We got a boat last year but our fishing gear is very old and limited. 
 Steve I can't say thanks enough my friend.   Thank you Bro!
