Del's MR Copy
Del the cat:
Grenade posting... :laugh:
Hey JW, that's my dream of one day doing a big road trip right up through the states taking in some of the wonderous scenery and meetin' some of you great guys. I think mrs Cat would get all bowed out pretty quick tho' ::).
It saddens me slightly that some people over here don't set their sights higher than Disneyland >:( when there are so many natural wonders to see.
Maybe one day...
Or if any of you guys get over here I'll stand you fish and chips and take you down to Portsmouth to the Mary Rose museum (loads of other good stuff down in 'pompey' (as it's know locally) too).
Cheers
Del

I can just see Del and fishhead911 double-teaming a poor stave! What a pair!
Del the cat:
Here's another pic, it's the excavated knot.
Note the piece of special Bowyer's carpet ::) on the vice protecting the bow.
The tool for digging out the rot is an old needle file ground down to a chisel point, works like a dream... well like a very small chisel really ;)
You can see from the shape why it needed 4 plugs.

Ian.:
Nicely done Del, I have to say I never go to the trouble to fill a knot just leave it a little bigger. But then I haven't used Englsih yew yet.
