What Did You Do Today?

Keenan:
 David (DVSHunter) has had a thread going on another site that I really like and I thought it might be good to start one here. It's been fun to see what others are doing on a daily bases and it helps to get to know people as well. Since this is our campfire section We can think of this as a sit down and share your day by the fire.
So Please join in and share your day!

Today I finished up a Sturgeon fillet knife and got the first coat of finish on the Sister stave that I've been working on. Seems like I've been sanding on this one since last year,,,, ::) OK I guess it has been since last year. It was a little heavy and I thought it would drop weight enough on the sand out.Sand and shoot some more, sand and shoot some ore and sand,,,,,well you get the picture.  Sure has been a good work out for the arms and it is still a touch heavy.

I wanted a longer knife for the sturgeon skinning so decided to make one. Not sure if I like the hand guard but got to play with the new anvil.




This bow is number two of four sister staves. Just the first coat of finish today. Once again It seems somewhere in the process I fell in love with this piece of wood. Like the bowyers rule says "don't get married to the wood".  But at times I'm guilty of having short love affairs with these character bows. I know she'll be well loved where she is going when she's done. ;D

seabass:
my day didn't go as good as yours brother.i was going to floor tiller my snakey osage today.as luck would have it,she broke a brakeline on her car.i spent all day laying in the snow under her car.that is a very cool knife.reminds me of a sword that a pirate would have.and the bow(WOW)it is another Keenan masterpiece.thanks for the look.

mullet:
 I went dove hunting. I'll be back to grinding hog meat and bagging again tomorrow.

BowEd:
Everything you do is done to a pristine status Keenan.Like the knife and what a wiggly piece of wood....LOL.What kind of finish are you using?
I put a couple pair of overlays on two hickorys today.No pictures of course.But it's always mostly horn with my overlays.Think I'll try to get these two hickorys done while I wait for two sinewed bows to cure.

Keenan:
