Well I just completed my first "salvage mission" at a local thrift store for some "raw materials". Picked up some nice brown leather in the form of a purse, and a silk scarf that should back several bows all for under 10 bucks. I felt a little goofy rumaging through the women's section but hey, its all part of the bowyer experience I guess.

Next time look for a slow cooker for making hide glue and a hot plate for warming it up to sinew a bow. An old coffee maker hot plate works also.

...but what are you going to use those high heels for, Slackbunny? ::)

The last time I was in a second hand store I picked up the cutest little black leather skirt you ever seen.
Got it home and started taking it apart at the seams with a stitch cutter. My wife comes home and asked if I found anything. I stood up an held the skirt up in front of me. She said " Honey that cant be more than a size 6. It will never fit you. " ;D You just got to know my wife.
After that she wanted to look at it. I handed it to her. She looked it over and asked what I payed for it. I replied $ 5.00. She looked at me with raised eyebrows and said " You have just ruined a never used $200.00 goat skin leather skirt." I forget the brand name but she recognized it right away from the tag. It seems that the tiny zippers have a seal put in them that has to be removed before it can be warn. The seal was still in place.
I hope to use the skirt in a billows I am making for my fireplace.

No need to wonder about that SlackBunny anymore. Now I can't help but picture him in a Playboy Bunny costume.
Now I'm gonna need therapy or a more beer. Maybe both.

Oh no, that kind of image never really goes away. Its been etched into the back recesses of your mind, waiting to come out in a hypnosis therapy session years later.
