It'll be one or two days before I've got more than ten minutes to myself and I want to get it all done in one shot, no mess, so maybe not right on the first but very soon. Gotta make sure Steelslinger is still around too, I've been talking to JoJo a lot but not a word from Steel :o

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

I half to say that I'm pumped about the trade, and a bit intimidated with it. But it will be awesome to share some of my work with a fellow bowyer. I've spent hours looking through my osage pile and it's looking like I might tackle some piece with a bit of character. (Which is about 90% of my wood). And I don't mind shipping across the pond.

Little elm number,straightened, tips lined up and heat treated.left limb had a bit of stubborn deflex that left so I didn't end up with a tension fracture on the belly.plan A,so far.
