4th Annual Moon Tree Gathering
wapiti1997:
I'm working on a bow, we'll see.. I plan to get there about 10:00 Friday, then we can do multiple tree ID and wildlife habitat improvement walks behind the pond. :D
I have to judge a wildlife photography contest at the wildlife conclave at EKU that afternoon. 4:00-6:00
Probably won't be able to come back Saturday, we'll see.
Look forward to seeing everyone.
XL on the shirt if that comes together.
osage outlaw:
Glad you will be able to make it for a while. I found a bow in the corner that needs finishing. I'll bring it and try to get it shooting before the weekend is over.
DLH:
This is kinda odd but I'll throw it out there if anyone would be interested in apple trees let me know and I'll bring some. I have various varitities around 15 but I would have to double check what all I have.

Wapiti, here's a few photos for you to judge. I found them in the snow this morning (Monday). The rain had already degraded them. The pattern of the stride first caught my attention. Instead of the canine tracks with front paws shoulder width apart and hind paws hip with apart making 4 track per step, these where toe to heel to toe making 2 tracks per step. There were no toe nail marks. So I googled "bobcat tracks in the snow." It looks like a match to me. While the tracks are degraded, it looks like the "M" shape back pad to me. These tracks where maybe 30 yards from my backdoor, just behind the shed.
Greg is can chime in, also.

Back to bow building. I didn't smash out as much of the woop-dee-doos as I had hope to do, because they are in the slight "s" bend in bow. My caul wasn't wide enough to do as good of a job clamping. When I put it on the long string the top limb was twisting in the woop-dee-doos. grrr. I widened my caul and tried again today. Hopefully, this will solve most of the issues. If it does, I'll remove some more wood to get rid of the tempered belly wood, flip the tips and glue on tip overlays. Then the tiller FUN can begin.
Do you know how you can tell a bowyers tracks in the snow? There's golden dust in the tracks. :)
