working hard on my trade bow
« on: March 29, 2011, 01:59:48 am »
I'll just say it is hickory and will be a bend through the handle bow.
Some pics. Note the hard work clearly going on in the last pic ;D Gotta let it happen at it's own pace eh ;D
At this point I decided it needed a bit more time to dry, so to be continued.........

Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

It looks like it's coming along nicely. Can't wait to see it finished.

The only thing I'm noticing is that it's warm enough for you to be outside in just a t-shirt.

But other than that, nice bow.

It has warmed up nicely here the last week or so........up to 12*C in the daytime......unfortunately that means less bow building time cause the work season is upon me again. :-\
Eric, I actually am just in the process of building my house.......been at it for about 2 years......siding this fall I hope.
Thanks for the kind words guys,
SiongSA, I kinda like my little chunk of the north too. :)

best of luck with the house, I hope you get it finished soon. I know having it not complete can wear on you. your last picture shows you know how to keep it in perspective. lol

Lucky, we're only up to 4*C... Then everything freezes overnight. Fun times in E-town...
