Spent most of the day in the shop working on my trade bow and my D/R bow.  I just put some finely shredded sinew scraps in the crockpot.  I should have some high quality glue in the morning.

Bet you can turn the heaters right off when she struts into the shop ey' Roybert?!?!?!?!?!? HOTTTTTTT......


We had my nephew and his family over for the weekend, starting Saturday a.m.. He has been dying to get an osage bow and he finally did this weekend. We went on a 24 hour binge and whipped out a sweety of a twin to my swap bow, minus the skins. It was a sister from it. Buff tips, 56" ntn and 60@ @ 26". Matt was a HAPPY camper when they left this afternoon. He is 36 years old, so more of a friend that nephew. Never did take pics? But we haint done just yet. He is sealing it and bringing in back in two weeks for a grippin'. I will get some then.

Did a little splitting;

This log turned out to be one of those that splits straight an easy.

 

Real clean halves;

 

Starting the first core split;

 

I use the wedges left over from cutting splices  to split off cores.

 

Popped the core off nice and straight.

 

Finished up with 9 good staves and one billet core split.

I got a new drawknife.  My dad was looking through some of my great-grandfather's old tools and came across it.  He asked if I could use it, and I said absolutely!  I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but the hinges seem to lock up pretty tightly, so I hope it's sturdy enough to last for awhile.  It seems those old tools are built to last a lot more than newer stuff.

That is one sweet draw knife. You should cherish that for life.

Yup Pearly Boy, it warms up when  she walks into the Bow Shop:)

dog sitting for my neighbor. sweet 9 mo shepard.
didnt get a block from the house taken her to the park to run, and sure enuf,
took a pretty good spill on ice in the alley.
banged up my knee pretty good. and likely broke my left arm.
had one of those good velcro arm/wrist braces. think it'll be fine soon enuf.
might put a damper on handiwork for a bit. feel lucky i didnt break a leg. that woulda really fixed me.
feeling like foolish old woman for not being more careful....

Nice draw knife Adam, I have one like it and it feels better to me than any other I've used .
Yesterday I cut a pickup load of Osage , three of the logs had to be split befor I could load them, thinking about going back after work and cut more.

Dang Sadie....You've had one mean winter girly. Keep your chin up and get that arm healed. I guess the cool part is you get to have a cast with peoples names all over it for a souvenir!
