Framed beef rawhide
Hawkdancer:
Ed, I think you will be good for another 20 or so! Just have to raise the splitting block a little higher and get some younger guys to to the toting out! (lol). It does get a bit harder to bend down to pick things up after 80! >:D
BJ, we got 2" of rain this weekend along with a tornado alert, apparently passed northwest of us a few miles in more or less open country. Luckily no hail!

I know it takes a bit more stretching in the morning to feel loose.....Ha Ha.Lower back and hips can get stiff.I think from doing the heavy lifting and shoveling by myself while farming.
Parts of this state are hurting for rain here too.We're ok here for now.
I feel we'll have an extended warm fall again because of all of the cool weather this spring.
This hide I've finally gotten dry.It goes in and out of the garage to get worked on.Tomorrow I'll get more done but by thursday more rain is coming.Probably won't get it done before thursday.
I've got mulberry drying in the house for a couple of bows too.Look forward to those builds.
BowEd:
It was a picture perfect beautiful day today.Sunny/low humidity and around 80 degrees with no wind.Perfect for dehairing.You can see it shrunk a bit more contorting the 2" by 6" frame.Hav'nt really needed to sharpen my scraper yet.It's made from a mill bastard file.
With a little luck I may finish it up tomorrow.
bjrogg:
Coming right along Ed.
Thought we were going to get some rain today. Looked promising on the radar map. Not even a decent dust settler .
Really look forward to seeing what becomes of that hide in the future.

BowEd:
Tomorrow night or thursday night it's supposed to rain.I should get it done before that.My nephews' ground needs rain.He should get some then too.
Update.....Weatherman changed his mind.It'll start raining in the morning now.
