Great pictures Roy.  Thank you.  Steve, tell Dave and Kora I said hello, and all the guys and girls at Twin Oaks the same.

Today after work I got all but two of the smaller Osage logs split up that I gather a week ago last Saturday.  I've got some that'll make a bow, some that might and some I'd have to be crazy to try.  Overall they split better than I was expecting.  Looking forward to splitting the big ones.  I should be set for awhile once these season some.






Two of the crazier ones on the left




I think I enjoy cutting and splitting logs almost as much as bow building, should have been a lumber jack

The halfwit in the black tshirt still has good taste in caps!  I got one just like it!

Cleaning off my garden, pruning my muscadine vines an replacing broken support poles, stacking osage staves in the dry, just general piddling on taps for today

I worked on my sparkler a little a few days ago.

finished most of the butt stock shaping.



Trimmed the wood down around the ramrod entry pipe.

Thanks for the pict's roy....to bad we started getting together so late this winter.  Thanks to everyone for coming over this weekend!  I took Joe's and Roger's bows out of their forms.  Thanks for the stave chris, I'll give you a holler when I get some time to do some shaving.
