Pappy:
Well here are some Pictures so far.More as I go along.I can see already you don't want to get in a hurry with this wood and all of us need to be sure and keep it dry as we pass it around.Dry it a day or 2 as each person gets it before drawing it to full draw until it is sealed.There is one knot in each limb with some funny grain,I think it will be OK but it makes it a challenge to tiller,you look at one side and it looks fine and move to the other and don't look so good.I will keep ya updated.

Here I am, waiving a white flag and hoping your pickets don't plug me.

If you guys want a hand woven bow sock, I'd be happy to do it. But, I have a big weaving project scheduled for after the Yankee "Zuove Red" one. When do you want this?

Say, when are all these projects supposed to come together? Union intelligence is foggy in that respect.

I have some undyed wool which is, if memory serves me, a nice grayish brown, so it should suit your rebel color tastes. I will do a nice twill weave, which is different than the Northern tabby weave I am using on the in-progress one. Tabby, btw, is regular up and down grid weave.

Now, back to my lines. I hear dinner is salt pork and hard tack. I can't get enough of that stuff.

I went back through this post trying to figure out who is going to do what. It looks like skeaterbait gets it next for tip overlays. Who is going to put the skins on it? The weather has put my house building behind so I have some free time. I have a set of sturgeon skins I can put on it. They are short, so I would have to use three skins. I could center the splices on the limbs and wrap them with silk thread. What do you guys think? I can get some pictures of them posted later tonight. Just an idea. Since I have some free time I thought I might try to contribute more. Who is doing the handle wrap and finish? PatB volunteered some ratan for the handle wrap. Dane the offer for the bow sock is generous.
