Headed to the cabin this morning for a few days, we have a club food and fun this evening so that is always fun , I plan on some hiking early and try to get some bush hogging done early and late when it's not so hot, also would like to finish tillering my Osage bow I can do that in the shop under the fans :). I have a lot of bush hogging to do around the farm but without a cab tractor it is really tough when the temps are in the high 90's , hard on me and my tractor,so I will do a little at a time, :) :) should get over it in a week or 2 that way. :-\ Hope yall have a good one also. Life is Good. ;) :)

Another good weekend, still hot and a couple of storms but over all good. Spent most of it working on my new bow/shooting and getting arrows tuned for the up coming season. Did take some time to make a ax handle for a good friend, Walnut heart wood , not the best for handles but all I had seasoned with the grain running the right direction, it should hold up fine if he isn't to rough on it. Got my Osage bow tillered to 51@26 and decide to flip the tips , so spent Thursday doing that.

The tip flipping went well, I used head but always chase the ring and get it in 1 ring if possible before I heat to flip, usually works out with no cracks if i take my time and heat slow. :) :) I also use a 2 lb weight hung on the other limb and as I heat it slowly takes it down. :)

Bow tillered out to 52@26, the tip flipping added a few pounds so done a little tweaking on the tiller and brought the weight down to where I wanted it, shot it about 100 times and then on to the tip over lays, deer antler. :)

Had a bunch of arrows with very high profile feathers on them great arrows but just to much feather, so Dan and I got my old feather burner out and set it up, made easy work getting the profile I wanted. Hadn't used it in several years and forgot how good a job they do. :) :)
