Yes sir, a lot of bows are done at Twin Oaks.  I think my number this year is around 9 or so. 

Now the really hard one is now in progress.  I've had alot of adult supervision so far however.  I told Pappy I wanted to do another Osage (seems every one I've made so far I've given to someone) and he gave me one from his special stash.  Gary helped with the layout along with Anthony and GregB, they were teaching me a few techniques.  He also showed me his method for heating and bending Osage ( I couldn't tell any difference in his technique and Pappy's as far as heating, because I'm still learning)  Gary also took time to show me his method for preparing leg sinew for backing the Osage.

Anyhow, it's always fun to work in the shop area.  A lot of bows have been built there over the years.  I've broke a few myself there.   ;D
