Wow Blafair2, did you give pearldrums  real gold for that gold? Looks like perfection in every way.

Here is what I am working on. hhb, osage, and hickory.

Design was easy; doesn't look like the guy has a mollegabet yet  ;)

I've got one roughed, steamed, almost ready to floor tiller but no blended knocks. I'm almost considering starting again already so I can send some blended knocks :o

Mollegabets all day long.
Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

It was the best stave in my stash as promised Bob. I think we both did okay on this one!

Well, I needed some kindling for the stove so I thought I'd get out to the garage and make some.  Pretty stuff.  Any guesses? Don't worry, It's not ERC  ;)

Got a load full and realized I was holdin a ruffed out bow.
