I heat treated a yew bow today. One of the most mind numbingly boring jobs. About halfway through a grouse hit the garage door full tilt boogy. :o :o :o  Scared the crap out of me. Took my mind off the boredom for a bit. :D :D

I wiped the 9th coat of tung oil on a 50 cal Hawken stock I refurbed. Im thinking 9-10 coats will be good and then Ill add several coats of BC gunstock wax. Its a 1973 TC. There is just something about that calf poop yellow factory finish that is ugly to me. I had to get it off. I left it natural walnut, no stain. Here it is naked. Not a great piece of walnut, but decent.

Per-cussing or flincher?

Capper fella's. Im looking at a twin to this gun in .54 cal. I think its within a year one way or another in age as well. I thought about switching all my furniture out with wax cast, but decided to take that cash and chase the .54 down rather.

Looks like a fun project Chris.
I have a 54 cal. that I built from a kit in the early 90's, it's a very reliable gun.

Today I traded this




For this, a 6x48 Grizzly belt sander with a 3/4 hp motor




Its a little rusty and dusty but it runs like a champ.  I owe him another truck load of fire wood.  I already have it cut and split, just need to bring it to him.  Don't laugh at all my straps.  It needs to withstand the 75 mph ride home.


I also delivered a wizard staff to a guy at work.  He bought me a couple of books in exchange for making this for him. 





I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I did rehab. Had my shoulder reworked last Friday, bummer. It is going to be a long rehab program. I have a machine called a passive motion machine that I have to stay on 4 hours a day, using it is about as exciting as sitting in a Dr office waiting on an appointment and just as boring. I have a almost a couple of hours of rehab exercises to do every day as well.  One thing, when I completely recover I should be able to shoot my bow and pack a treestand with out pain.
