Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
The old timers around here knew it was the wood the old timers before them used for hitching horses to wagon. They didn’t know about bows but thought it probably would be good wood.
I spent a couple hours yesterday looking for the wood that wasn’t a bow. And trying not to remove any that was a bow.
I started with the bow bending to the previous picture from Saturday
Sunday I removed the small pile of dust on the floor and bench. I should have weighed it. It wasn’t much but it was enough to get to brace. Put short string on and draw almost to 25” at 55 lbs.

Starting to think about spring now. Have all the fall equipment repaired. Some we will probably do outside yet this summer.
We are starting on spring equipment. Hooked up to my planter and took it to our shop.
