Skinned, fleshed an stretched 4 beavers today after checking my line, pretty much took care of the day. Took some deer hides out of the freezer, need to rack an dry a couple more an with the zero weather were getting fiqured be a good time to keep fire going in the fur shed an work some hides.

I got some quality work done today. I tried splitting the bottom of this stave off along a single ring before sawing out the bow. I really didn't need to, I just wanted to try it out on a shorter stave.
It worked!
I got it and the deflexed stave cut out. The shorter bow is 52" long. I have plans on sinew backing it. It might be my hunting bow next fall. After I got it roughed out I chased it down 1 ring to the final back. It took forever because the back is concave and I had to scrape it down the center for most of the length. The ring was about 1/4" thick to.
Roy:
Clint just send that short stave on the left to me, son. Ya need my addy?:)
osage outlaw:
Why, you volunteering to sinew it, tiller it, and send it back? ;D
Roy:
Would ya settle for 2 out of 3? I sinew it, tiller it, and keep the darn thing:) ;D
