I've been ready. All I need is to find a box to ship.

I think the 15th is the earliest shipping day. Shipping time is December 15 through January 15

First you take something without any holes is it.  Then you make holes, several holes.  Then you plug the holes!  And then it's done!

I haven't posted an update for awhile so here is what I have been working on.  I have some arrows finished and need to prepare fletchings for the rest.  Fletchings are split and ground, they still need to be chopped and attached. I finished tillering a tricky piece of black walnut late last night (thanks to a tillering gizmo).  It came out right at desired weight. I think I am a fan of Black Walnut. I will finish sanding and shooting in today. 

I had been working on a piece of ironwood and with a slip of a draw knife I went from a 55 pound bow to a 30 pound bow.  That is set aside to finish later for my son.  I have some other goodies ready to go along. I hope to be able to ship before Christmas but I most likely won't be ready by the 15th.

The old hickory is stupid sharp and I've prepped the materials for it's sheath.  A little dye here, a little weaving there, and it will be good to ship before christmas.

Hey everybody, shipping begins in only 1 week. Let's see what everybody's got going. Here's where I am.



I've still got to epoxy the scales, peen the brass, shape and finish the handle, and dye the sheath. I should be able to finish it up next weekend. What do you guys think?
