So far everyone is safe from what my mind can come up with. Just a warning I've had warbles on my mind pretty heavy lately.

Wouldn't that postman love us.

Waiting on an address and I will be done. If you dont have your name yet (I know who you are) it will be soon. Sorry for the delay.

Fellas I am jacked about this swap. Might have to do a two-fer cause I hate making a single decision.

It has taken me a week to pick a stave. I hope it don't take as long to pick a design. I want to try a true static and I'm sure my guy would love it. Just not sure that fits my style. Ahh, I normally have a bow built in my mind before I ever pick a stave. I'm doing things backwards this time hope something cool comes out of it.

Well I'll start with the first pic. Here is the red streak Osage! More like a red ringed Osage with beautiful rings and just a touch of character which I'll probably have to straighten out for the most part. I'm thinking maybe a bendy handle with static recurves? I've never made one so I'll have a plan b and c going probably.

Stave on the left. Chase the biggest ring above the tight group of rings. One good thick back ring and lots on the belly make a pretty bow...

Soooooo i did a bit of work on a red oak board today. Got one limb ready to brace. Gonna do the other one tomorrow. Its got recurved tips with an osage handle.

Actually I have two of those in the works, a sapwood backed osage war bow, a bamboo backed osage, a sinew backed osage, a bamboo bundle bow, one hickory sapling bow, a D bow of osage, a mere heath elm, an osage shoot through the hole in the handle bow, and a few others.

I really have high hopes for the red oak bows though. Got something i wanna try.

Anything in addition to the bow is an option Ed.  My guy might find a drum or a set of hand carved camp spoons in with his, but I'd never send anyone my home made arrows!  I suck as a fletcher.  So far, my arrows are all practice quality only types.
