Great weekend, again no meat for the freezer but a good time rambling around in the woods, I am beginning to wonder about my hunting skills. ??? :-\ :) :) Put some tip over lays on my Hickory project/started a new bow for Margaret Ann from a 20 year old piece of Osage I have hanging above my work bench since she was born, finely time to put it to use ;) also put my deer leg skins in a tanning solution, it's a chemical solution with salt and should do what I need it to, maybe not as soft as I want but we will see. :-\

Decided to put some snake skin sheds on Margaret Ann's bow, I know I have heard of people doing this but it just didn't work out, they were so fragile that every time I tried to move them they would rip, fooled with them for several hours and then just scraped them off and going to plan B, real skins, I think they would have looked really cool but just wasn't in the cards. We also got a good snow Friday, snowed hard and covered everything but as normal in Tennessee it didn't last long, was sure pretty for a while. :) :)

Jesse showed up for a few days, back safe from Colombia S A. ??? got Margaret Ann's bow tillered out to 15@15 may have to take a little more off after I let her draw it but so far looks really good, R&D 42 inches T-T, antler over lays and shelf, of course pink 8 strand d97 with purple serving. ;) :) her favorite colors I will add some beads to the thread below the grip and a Turkey feather on the end of the bowers knot. Then Saturday went out on our squirrel hunt, seen no squirrels but had good time looking for them. Did shoot my flint lock when I got in and can say they squirrels would have been in trouble if the got 25/30 yards of me, spent some time cleaning it up and getting it ready for our next adventure. :) Had a great Saturday evening meal with Miss Joanie/Beau/Christina and the grand kids for her Birth day !!! Hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good. :)
