Spring - Diamond skin backed osage 50@28
« on: June 02, 2019, 04:01:22 pm »
Hi fellow primitive folk,

As I was tillering the bow I now call Spring, I stopped as I heard some scratching right outside my garage.  I turn to see 3 Jakes staring at me about 6 feet away.  I laughed and waved as they went on their way.  In all honesty I'm not sure I would have been as hospitable if the giant Tom I've been seeing was with them.  It was an appreciated reminder that spring is a beautiful time of the year to live in PA. 

I've recently taken a break from bow building due to buying and selling a house and getting remarried.  Now I have a new workshop and am happy spiraled wood chips once again float to the floor.

Nice looking bow. I'm sure it feels good to be making shavings again.
