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
