What fer?  Don't you have enough stashed away  ;D  Somebody already called dibs on the biggest one....Me  >:D     That thing was like trying to cut through a steel pipe.  My Dad was standing 20 feet away and when I stopped sawing he said, "that sounded different".  I threw him the wedge and told him to check out the color.

Roughed out another red oak blank for a really light horsebow as a movie prop.  Got a call from a game warden that had a report of a bald eagle down in a pasture.  Went out and collected a large female(?) baldie without any apparent injuries.  Got her some subcutaneous fluids and arranged for her to get a ride to the state capital where a federally licensed rehabber will take care of fixing her up.

Then this evening at work I get a call from a guy that says he found an eagle with a broken wing about two miles up a hiking trail high in the Black Hills.  Seeing how I gotta be at work in the morning, I am prolly going out tonite in the dark to find her and pack her out.  What with the near full moon and the mountain lions, I may just pack my .45 as a security blankie.  With my crap-toast shooting skills I am more in danger than the kitty, but oh well.

When it rains it pours.

Nice sheds Clint! My buddy next door to you finds them dang things like that all the time. Indiana is a hidden gem, just not as sexy as Illinois or Kansas I guess.

Well why didn't you tell me you were looking for red bow wood.  I'll stop at Lowes on the way to the Classic and get you an armful of red oak.  You need anything else buddy?

Try a red oak-backed osage laminate.  You'd be the first.  Think of the glory! :P

Yesterday, glued up the tip overlays for My Yew project. Today glued the overlays on the bow - next week-end will be time to make it, or (GULP) break-it

  ;). Then Matt and I slipped out His shop and did some stump shooting - enjoying this first really nice day We've had in a while ! Happy Easter all - Bob.

I got the last log split in half and got all of it out of the valley today.  Turned out to be a nice haul of character wood.




This is about the typical grain pattern in all of it.  It should make some cool bows but man is it a pain to split  :P
