Thats good to hear. Sorry for the slow progress. Just been super busy with everything else. I'm hoping to finish the string and get some scraping done by the end of this weekend. I messed around a bit with a obsidian flake and was amazed at how nicely it was cutting. Might just have to throw out my steel tools.........NOT ;D

I find its best if you take it slow and stick to how you said you'd do it. Once or twice I've brought out the power stuff and ruined bows. Not again ehh... ;)

Slacker! ;) Your right about the head lamp Rick. I don't know how primitive people survived without one. One of my favorite tools ever. Cool post.

Any progress ???
Keep us updated...

Sorry nothing lately. All I've done is gotten more fibers for the string. Which is about 3/4 done. And cleaned up the stave a bit. I scraped all of the torn fibers off the belly. The initial reduction of the wet stave left it really rough. As I keep saying .......Hopefully some more progress this weekend. ;D
