Took the wife to the Rock Hawk mound near Eatonton, GA, thanks Trad Bow for showing me.  It is an awesome place to visit.

yesterday i took a osage stave that Clint gifted me and took a belly split from it.today i got a bow roughed out.there was a snall check on the back that i thought was no big deal.when i was reducing my thickness,i noticed the check went down through the belly.i worked hard on this stave with all hand tools.i am not going to let it fail.i will probably do as Clint suggested,and do a sinew wrap.it is a nice stave,i am not going to let it get the best of me.hope you guys are having a great day.

I took the obsidian blade Madcrow chipped out yesterday and hafted it up. I put it on a piece of cholla and added a erc butt cap to it.
I smoothed down a hunk of spalted ambrosia maple and added a piece of whitetail antler to make a display stand.

Just got back on the home front after being on the road for a while and trying to get caught up on the reading. You boys have been very busy. I had a great time. Spent the first few days wondering around in the desert a little,  then went to Juniper Junky's off grid cabin. 
 Somehow some of the most incredible yew logs, that I have ever seen, found their way home with me ;D

I made a dozen arrows today.  Just need to use the feather burner at Twin Oak's and they'll be ready to fling an arrow.

Today I realized I'm not a flintknapper  :(  I just can't get into it.  All I want to do is make bows and suddenly knives.  I put the scales on my first try at a knife this evening.  I think I can get it done tomorrow so I'll post it.  Its nothing special, just a beginners knife out of a bandsaw blade.
