Bows / Re: Two White Oak Board Bows (In Progress) Update

Got the handle slats on the bows shaped as well as the goat horn nocks. Looking good so far just have to do the Paua inlay on the strike plate area and make some proper strings for them. Then onto checking the final tiller and shooting in.

The asparagus patch that I planted 3 years back,(in a fit of optimism), is coming on strong now so we've been enjoying that. My neighbor came over Friday evening with some miss delivered mail and 3 dozen fresh eggs. Their hens, 10 of them, are putting out a lot of eggs and, since I plow their drive when needed, they reward us with eggs. Good trade...

The wild plums were in full bloom early on but don't know how that last cold spell will effect them yet. The wife made jam last year but there were bubbles in the jars so she re-did the batch into some BBQ sauce. THAT turned out real nice and we're down to just 3 half pint jars left.

Del, I haven't heard his name in maybe 15 years, nice guy but he argued a lot and people didn't like him. He was very controversial. I always enjoyed his posts up to a point.

I was down to my last jar of muscadine jelly; my muscadine vines are good producers so I freeze a lot of the juice for future jelly making.

I use the old granny method of making jelly, juice, sugar and time, nothing else.

I hear ya Eric, I don't like killing anything I don't plan on using in some way but kind of got a rule, you stay out of my way and stuff and I will stay out of yours, if you don't all bets are off.  :) That looked like a big one for sure.
