Those osage bows ought to be just about black by now.

Thats why I couldn't find them!

They changed color and blended in with the steel,,,,,,,,,,,,

National Geographic will do a Sunday evening program on the PA Friendship Bows before we ever see them.

But what the hey! This has been a fun thread all these many years. Lots of good belly laughs for sure.
If Hillbilly, Koan and Keenan have the bows maybe they can bring them to the Classic next spring(Justin already promised he was coming) and we could have a Friendship Bow Circle and see what these bows actually look like. Maybe it will jar our feeble minds.

Raffle them all off at the Classic. I'll take the money if nobody else wants it.

Pat, I don't think I will make it again next year. I hope to be graduating that weekend.

Well I guess your school work in more important anyway. We'll miss you again. Maybe you can telecomute!

Yep ,it has been a fun thread for sure,just had to bring it up again.

I felt so much preasure when I got the bows at the start to get on them and really get them out quick,I now see it really didn't matter,all these gray hairs for nothing

no one cares how long it takes.

If they all get finished the real fun will be over.

I did too. I was really bummed when I took too much wood off Pat's bow. I guess it turned out to not be that big of Deal? ::)And that's the only bow I got a chance to work on. I was waiting for the two Hillbilly has next.

Allright,,,,,,,,,,,I just roughed out some Cascara so maybe that will get things moving again,,,,,,,

Justin Snyder · « **Reply #833 on:** October 28, 2011, 08:21:37 pm »

I think the problem started when we said there would be no dates or times on sending to the next guy. Maybe we should have set a 6 month time limit.

Problem,,,,,,,,,,who said there was a problem? I get to claim that I am the one that added the patina to these two bows

I learned that if you wait two years on Osage that you can add some really neat scrape marks to the back of the bow and the patina looks just like you left some of the cambium layer.

Ps. Justin, Do I ship these to you next ? I think that was the order

If so shoot me your mailing info in a Pm again.

Justin Snyder · « **Reply #835 on:** October 29, 2011, 12:00:15 am »

Yes Keenan, it comes to me next. Ill drop you a PM.

You have got to be kidding,this thing is moving again.
