I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

3 light heat bending sessions so far and now onto chasing the final ring before reducing wood and then onto floor tiller.

 8) Glasses belong to my son and I'm waiting for him to throw them away. They've been shuffled around between the outhouse and the workbench now for over 2 yrs.

Got that ring chased and this is gonna be the one. Already dread giving this one up. Just look at that color. This is the second stave from the same tree and the only two I had. The last one had massive borer damage and I had to reduce it to 51". It made a fine bow and went to my friend and neighbors daughter. 35#@24".

Looks like rain and enough stave work for today. Time to pack some staves off to the post office for shipment. A fresh start again in the morning on this one.

Here is a couple of teaser pics. I still need to seal it, do the grip and make a string for it.

B53 doesn't know his beans, generally speaking.  But he knows a badass bow when he sees one!
