Thanks Bob and Pappy,
As Bob Ross said just a happy little accident. I kinda stumbled upon this technique when I accidentally put a big blob of paint on my shaft and then I took the edge of a razor blade to remove part of it.
And that’s how my happy little accident added a little color and lava lamp like shapes to my happy little world. Funny part is now the hardest part is making the right accidental blob.
Definitely was a different time Pappy

We think we have everything ready to plant now. Just waiting on the weather now which could be a bit.
I use to feel a little guilty about working on my bows and arrows when I “should” be working.
I realized that I’m getting to the age that many people spend their winters in Florida.
I don’t feel guilty about spending time with my hobbies anymore. Especially when I’m waiting for the weather to cooperate.
If you go to leatherwall or have gone to my thread in the bow section you can see I’ve been spending some quality time with this piece of knarly Osage.
If you haven’t seen this thread I think you might want to check it out.
Look for thread titled “Starting Small”. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
Here’s the piece of Osage

I’ve been working on some arrows to.
When I started making arrows I used this combination of colors for my markings, but I wasn’t a very good shot and I realized that they were very hard to find .
Hopefully I don’t lose them now. Still not sure if I’m going to switch, but I made a half dozen like this

Holy Week has kept me busy too.
When I got home from Good Friday Mass, I found out our neighbors barn was on fire. My brother and nephew were already there with our escavator and loader. Along with a lot of neighbors and firefighters.
It honestly looked like I would just be in the way. I just watched and hoped no one was hurt and that the fire was kept from spreading to other buildings.
