What Did You Do Today?

[_Jon_]

I made 8 knife sheaths finished up for knives I made.

Sorry to hear that Sadie.

I worked on a trade bow I'm trying to finish before I join the one here.



I shaped the handle and added overlays. They are tigerwood.



The string lines up well after just one heat session. I need to drop weight some more.




I keep working that snakey spot but it is being stubborn. I still have room so hopefully it will come around.

 David that thing is wicked cool. Love how you curved the tip. I may have to technique some day. BTW Love that skin you sent me. I will have some good pics up in a few days

[Dvshunter]

Thanks bud.

This is the second time I've tried the curved tip thingy. This one looks better than the first time. I can't wait to see how that skin looks under finish cuz I got one in mind.

After suffering a terrible defeat at the hands of Osage and boo, I decided to get the bad taste out of my mouth with this little bit of wood sitting in the corner. It has a naturally deflexed handle and I gave the limbs a touch of reflex. After tillering I decided they were long enough and so I just recently reworked the tips. This stick is waiting to be shot in before I cover its nakedness.

That is looking great Stringman

I tried to gently flip the tips on a HHB in progress with a heat gun.  CRACK!  This is the second time I have tried it with HHB and failed both times.  I guess it is steam from now on.  Luckily I was watching for it this time and as soon as I saw it start I released the clamp.  I think I can scrape it out.

Worked on filling out tax receipts for Ms kerries montessori. Only good news she phoned and the postman dropped of a box for me. Can't wait to get home. Thanks Steve
Thanks Leroy

[seabass]

i hope you and the grandkids enjoy the tip-ups Leroy.i figured you could use them more than me.we don't get good ice anymore.i probably haven't ice fished in four or five years.at the very end,i was getting out on three inches.it would be so thin,i would leave the gear on the bank and just take the auger and a jigging pole out with me.i miss it alot.have fun.

I met with a landowner today to give him wildlife habitat imrovement advise.  He'd pushed the edge of a pasture with a dozer to increase his open land potential.  The edge was full of really straight, tall, potential bow, osage trees.  Literally, I bet he piled up, 300-500 potential staves... 

Funny how your perspectives change after you split a few hedgeapple logs..

[Keenan]

Wooo Hoooo!  Got a long package today for Seabass,,,,,,,,, This baby put one heck of a nice grin on my face.  A New 7 ft med/heavy Ungly Stik Tiger Rod  with a 340 GT 2 Pen reel.  This is the sturgeon fisherm dream pole for sure. Absolutely going to enjoy this one. We got a boat last year but our fishing gear is very old and limited. 
 Steve I can't say thanks enough my friend.   Thank you Bro!

[Roy]

That's great Keenan, I see they put your name on it too. Ugly Stik:) LMAO

Today I took a tri lam out of the clamps. Boo, red cedar, and osage.
Glued on the riser.

[seabass]
