Well, today I did a thing.

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

I'm busy trying not to hang it up from this stupid pain. I gotta get me heat gun out for a few things. Got a little twist on an Osage bow, and still camping on the takedown. Lol. I'll get at em once these shingles are gone

Blafair I had shingles a few weeks ago.  It was so miserable.  I feel for you.  I didn't get anything done either

I got some more straightening to do then a heat treat and some tillering! Might try to do the final touches at mojam!

Maybe if my guy comes to mojam I will give it to him in person! Patrick

Well I got a little more time in on my plan A.  Got it roughed in a little more and scraped the inner bark off the back.

Looks really good,  I love that profile! I have an Osage bow that is almost identical to that one. It's really fast and shoots great! Patrick
