I learned that me and lists don't get along! Winter is my time to build bows, arrows et al. I started a HHB stave today that Greg and Pappy gave me at the last TOJam. So I guess my season has  begun.

Ok, guys it's time to take inventory of what you got done so far. 

1.  Finished...Replied to DanaM that I'm all about doing it again next year.  Great fun.
2.    Wood still curing, but hopefully at OJAM or Pappy's Classic (fingers crossed).   
3.  Still learning, but I've broke some rocks (and a toilet tank)
4.  Some, but nothing to post.
5.  That one got past me, but I'm going to ask the new land owners.  Found more good Osage and a toilet tank on the place to boot. 
6.  A few, and even caught a few fish with them in the Blue River
7.  Are you kidding.  No real intention of starting on it.     (I can type that with impunity since she's out of the room)
8.  Still gearing up.  Season starts in April.
9.  Made a few, traded for a few.  Thanks PK

I made myself a hickory bow. Finished it up January. I made myself some hand planed white pine arrows for it. I've been doing a fair amount of teaching. I've been in on 2 board bows and an osage. Still working on the osage with a friend. Also taught some string making. I'm also working on an Eastern Woodland style blunt form split hickory a a prize for an archery shoot. LOL. Beats me why anyone would want that.  Other than that I shoot 3 times a week or so. Just enjoying retirement. Jawge
