I meant to post this yesterday so it would fit into what I did today. I made a heat treating reflex caul and cut 12 2" holes in it with a hole saw bit ( whew that was some work) for the clamps. I also built a little stand/ holder for the heat gun. I been just rigging something redneck up and finally decided to make something that would make it easier to do and more consistent. Today I will be putting the jig to use by heat treating a little hackberry bow I made my step mom. I will also get another hackberry bow I have roughed out that I started for my wife at least to floor tiller stage as well debarking a couple staves and shooting the stuffed animal course with Rocky later in the afternoon.   Danny

Could you post a picture of your heat gun stand?  Making one of those is on my to do list.

I felt better today than I have in 3 weeks. So I headed to the shop for some serious catch up time. I finished gripping a 60# hickory flat bow I started at Martys last weekend, Ryan gave me that stave. Then I tillered out and started sealing a buckthorn beauty Cody gifted me last weekend, I love that stuff mand need more. After that I grabbed my little 46" sinew backed osage bow and tillered it to 26", it perfers 25" and so do I. It felt good to suck dust again, I needed that.

Aww man, Roy, now that thing looks convincing!!

Yes, Chris, let's see the sinew bow. I have half a notion to give sinew a try some day in the future and I would like to see your work in the area. BTW, glad you're feeling better. I'm hoping to be over this flu bug before the weekends out.

I was finally able to start making some wood shavings at my temporary home in Georgia.  I brought my new shaving horse down from WI, picked up a few boards, and I am well on my way to my first made in GA bow.  Can't wait.

Slept for the most part as this is my last nite on shift rotation for the next several weeks. Kyle, I have plenty of cane cut for that bow you are working on and can cut more than you can carry back to the northlands if you want some. Even have some hickory staves  ready if you want to try one. I know how it is to be away from home so if you want to just want to  hang out in the swamps and chill some give me a hollar.

I dont know how you guys can start tillering a bow, then walk away and finish it later. When I start tillering I feel like Im on a slippery slope and I dont quit til Im shooting it. If it takes 15 minutes or if it takes an hour I finish it.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.   
But I have promises to keep,   
And miles to go before I sleep,

Robby, I thought I was okay at building flintlocks, but that makes mine look like firewood.  Absolutely gorgeous.  Any man would be proud to carry a rifle like that.

Sure Clint. Let me get  a pic taken then I'll post it. I stole the idea from one of my bow building students. Its kinda funny so when I post the pics I will tell the story.  By the way got everything done on my list with the exception of gettting the new hackberry to floor tiller. I did gett the belly depth lines layed out on it so when I get rady to put it to the knife it'll be ready for me. Its kind of hard to get everything done when life gets in the way, lol.
 Today will be mostly taken up with spiritual things but I will get two more staves debarked and sealed before the days over. Danny
