Pappy:
Well I didn't get it finished this weekend but did manage to get the humps mostly out and up to brace,It needed a little more work to line the handle up so I got it tweaked a little and ready to brace again.Also got some tip overlays glued on and ready to work down.I usually do that last but had some free time while it was cooling down so I put them on.Here it is on the stick and then at brace.Not looking to bad.Just having to be careful not to get to much bend at the fades just yet.
I save that for last.Like Lennie said in another thread a little set there goes a long way and with
 the snaky stuff it is easy to get to much quick. :)

Pappy, That braced profile looks sweet. ;) Start bringing the outer portion around as your draw increases and...BINGO!...another Pappy winner.   I've worked 3 bows lately that have almost beat me...but not quite. ;)  Those are the ones we learn from.  8)       Pat

Pappy:
Thats why I like them Pat.When you do do a good straight piece it make them go smooth. :)
Well at least most of the time it dose. :)

Pappy in photo 1774 there is gentleman standing by some logs with small branches in them that dont look natural. Have seen them in other photos from you and was wondering what they are. Climbing sticks? Coat racks like someone else suggested? Or??????????????? Thanks.

Pappy:
makete they are 3 poles cut from small poplar trees and then drilled with pegs in 2 of them
then lashed together6/8 inches from the top and you can spread them out like a tripod and
we lay or bows and stave's on them for display works good and looks pretty cool also.
