So that's the bow you made from it.  I'm glad I got to deliver it to him.  It's funny all the trading and gifting that we all do.  It would be hard to keep track of where everything ends up.

Yeah, most of what we do here on PA has lots of stuff from others in it, like tip overlays, skin, sinew, rawhide, wood or bamboo backings, handle risers hatchets or hatchet handles. The trade routes of the world continue.  ;)  ...and our family seasons!  8)

+1 on Pat's sentiments!

I haven't been able to work on it since the last update.  I'm going to get back on it today.

I'm taking it very slow trying to get a good fit in the eye of the head.

Really cool Clint, you'll be able to hang that one on a nail. Amazing what that mind of yours comes up with.

I think I got a decent fit on the head.  I still need to thin down the handle and sand it before I mount it.  That will have to wait until my next day off work.  The small draw knife worked good for roughing out the eye.

That turned out really nice Clint. Did you polish out the head or was it already that shiny.

I bought it like that.  Somebody did a good job cleaning it up.

No chickens here Zuma.


I just realized today that this piece of osage is from the monster osage tree.  That will add a little extra mojo.
