AKA Blackhawk, AKA Black Mocking Bird, AKA Chris... Haven't seen a post or a bow picture from him in a while. That is unusual as he was a bow making fool... Hope all is well with him and the family.. Hope he didn't go out and buy a compound or a crossbow.. :) But if he did, I understand...
-
Never heard of him. New guy?
>:D
-
I think he has been gathering "staves" at all the local Home Depots and Lowes >:D
-
Ah crap, he went to board bows and tite bond 3 huh? I knew the glue was getting to him:) Well I hope he still does horn tip overlays... :)
-
He has finally come to the dark side. 8)
-
Either I'm going crazy or he had a nice tri-lam or something posted a week or two ago that disappeared...
-
Blackhawk commented on my post last week (white oak backed ipe dimensions)
-
He hasn't been in the bow building mind for months. He and the family are alive and well, but he isnt into bows right now. You gotta ask yourselves, do you really miss him?....;)
-
I kinda miss the competition of who can build a bow the fastest. He can do it in three hours and I can in three months. :laugh:
-
Hey guys...
Not into bows eh?? Then i guess this don't count...built this one a couple weekends ago and got it shooting,but I've been waiting for better weather to commence shooting...its just been a brutal cold winter and I like shooting in my bows outside...

Here's the side profile...at rest it hasn't budged a fraction of an inch from the shape it came out of the form...

Also ran a ring last night n drew some lines down...guess that don't count either??
Aaaaaaand in the meantime while I'm waiting for better weather I've been also doing a lot of this lately.....

Got an upcoming trip this summer and I've been getting my butt whipped back into climbing,bouldering, scrambling,hiking,etc shape
So I'm still kicking and playing with wood from time to time and enjoying it for just myself n no one else...n just taking a backseat to the forums for personal reasons

Can't be too bloody cold if the trees still have leaves

Marc rhododendrons are evergreens and don't loose there leaves ;)

Good for you on taking a breather and concentrating on other things/yourself for awhile. Mentally healthy to do.

Maybe... just maybe... Mrs Blackhawk has given Mr Blackhawk s-h-i-t for spending too much time on internet forums and not enough time parenting those beautiful children. Chris? CHRISTOPHER!? Hello?
