but that gave me a chance to get a lot done in the shop.I had planed to bushhog all weekend but after the trouble I stayed in the shop. I think we got 4 bows either first brace or shooting.I got my winged elm shooting ,then tips flipped and heat treated. We Also finished up a couple of knives and made a walking stick out of a broken bow. I also got 3 bows set up for hunting season, that's a plus ,I usually do that the week before.

:)Hope yall had a good one,here are a few pictures of the weekend.

My new toy[bushhog]worked great until The tractor went down.
