Life is Good (Up in The Northwest)
Keenan:
Good luck on your hunting Frank. We've been having some cold nights but real nice days this last week. When you come down I could take you to some good spots for getting pics of those moster muleys ;D
D. Tiller:
Yes, we do have Moss-ters down here durring the wet season! ;)
Sparrow:
I've heard them referred to as "mossy horns". (Big muley's make me drool) I really like taking pictures of them (almost as much as perforating their lungs ! )
Okay,so this is what happened today. Got up at 4 am made coffee got on the computer and it was snowing good. Got off the computer and still had alot of time to kill before time to get dressed for hunting.Started chasing the ring on a stave,started getting light,snowing like mad.Kept chasing the ring started raining,did'nt ever get out of my jammies today,been working on the stave all day.Made good progress. I had the back of my stave all cleaned up but had'nt decided which ring to chase.This is the 1st time I ever chased a ring,. Man, I thought I had loved the wood before,I did'nt know nothing, I have found true intimacy with the wood,chasing the ring. It's intense plus.
Anywho,I took a picture. I'll try to post it later.
Found some little knots under that sap wood. Cute Anyway,it may be a hunt day tomorrow. Frank
GregB:
Sounds like a great day Frank...anyone who has never chased a ring as part of the bow making process is missing out. I think it really adds to what the finished bow means to the maker when chasing a ring, determining the layout, and really getting to know the piece of wood is involved. :)
Pappy:
Sounds like a good day,I love chasing a ring it is [Almost as much fun]as hunting.Wished
it would snow here.We don't get to hunt in it much and if we do it is very late in the
season. :)
