Title: What comes around goes around...
Post by: Sidewinder on February 26, 2015, 11:55:39 pm
I guess when you put enough good seed in the ground some of it comes back to you a hundred fold.

I made a friend last year named Chris. He's a rifle hunter and overall pretty capable guy considering he's paralized from the waste down and deals with back pain constantley.  Wev'e cut firewood with him running the loader and spent some time in the field in his UTV. Did a little deer hunting last fall on his families land.  He let me harvest some osage a month ago and I decided to make him a bow. I've been showing it to him as it progresses. He's digging it. In fact, he dug it so much that he gifted me with his tipi that he has not used in years and has no intention of using again. Its a 16footer and looks like its gonna do the trick come OJAM next month. I'm totally stoked. The pics are when we set it up at his house when he gave it to me. He gave the instruction and I did the assembly work. I did'nt install the lining or stake it down in these pics. I will add more later when it gets above 30 sometime in the next 2 weeks.

I always wondered how those worked with a fire. I know there is a hole at the top but making it actually draw the smoke out is a mystery to me.

There is an inner liner that creats an air gap that make it a natural chimney. Warm with fire in winter, cool in summer with shade and airflow.

sleek. I got a feeling that lodgepole pine would suck for bow wood. But it makes great lodge poles.
 Yes it was very nice of him to give it to me. I will certainly get good use out of it.
