Probably just me. I just finished a 12 hour shift staring at flames all day.

Gotta get them fades moving duck. Mollys need all the working limb working evenly. Its a fine line, but a fun one!

I'm tillering my first bow this weekend if the moisture in the stave is ok.  So it will be done in another week.  Then I'll start another......

Man, you guys are kicking butt on the trade bows!  That's excellent.  I haven't started mine yet and feel like I'm lacking.  I suppose, I oughta get at it!  Can't stand being just a spectator to all of the conversation! ;D

Alright here's my entry. I tillered a shorty out and it came in under weight. So while I work on sinewing that bow, I got this piece on the long string.




Plenty of weight still and this stave would be easy to finish if something happens on the other. Also have a BL stave in the corner well as a couple more Osage staves waitin on deck. I would have to have a lot of failures in a row before I start worrying.

This trade is looking GOOD!
