Ya D.Tiller it don't never stop.Got a lot done this weekend,got my food plots disced,Got some Hickory split for a friend and ready to ship when I get back from Mic.Split some Osage for another friend,he thought he had 1 stave ,turns out we got 3.1 belly split and 2 off the bark side.1 had
a nice hole and he didn't want to fool with it so he gave it to me for helping.LOVE THE HOLES.
I had it to myself Friday so I made brats and corn on the fire,wasn't to bad.Sat put some more sealer on my BL bow and sister 1 and finished tillering sister 2.When I get some grips and skins on and finished I will have some pictures of the twins.It turned out 52@26 and is holding about 2 in. of back set after unstrung so I am pleased.They both are good shooters and should make it to the wood this fall.As I promised 8UP I kicked his butt pretty good on the range,I was shooting way over my head but that happens now and then.More then than now. ;D ;D.As you will see in the picture we do it all down there.CastIron works for a gun mang. so we had to do a little gun work also
cool looking weapon.Had deer steak and taters for supper to cap off a good day.Also there is a picture of what you don't want to do with the band saw,Always keep your eye on the bottom line
when cutting out a stave Bandsaws are great but I have ruined several stave's when I first started so be careful.Life is good. :) I leave for Mic. Wend. so the next weeks pictures will be from up North
I am sure it will be fun but there is no place like home.

I went out Saturday long enough to get bruises all over my rear end. Pappy had no mercy, and showed me I need alot more practice before going to the woods this season. I split a piece of osage thats been cut for 20 years. Its in rough shape but I think I can get a bow out of it........Ron

How hard is it to tiller an assault rifle? I bet chasing a ring on the barrel is hell. ;D

Hey Pappy! You would not have any Ossage cut into boards would ya? I've been talkin with Pip Bikerstaff in england and he mentioned English warbows in the 50 - 90# range are best made from a combination of Hickory backing and Ossage belly.  Hoping you might have a little of that stashed somewhere we might be able ta bargain for. Can you IM me?

Thanks
