Just got done taking the new stave vice for a spin, it really works well.  Oh, and the sob stave is less one more troublesome ring :)
Tomorrow night,  the hens will have run of the house, so I'll be in the cave and the goal is to make the sick look more like a bow.

Well, happy birthday John!  I'm enjoying the link and it looks like you all are making a lot of progress.  Your garage/shop looks great, are you currently working on that canoe frame, did you start it from scratch?  Very cool photos and very interesting.

Thanks man. The garage bow shop is going to move to a new location on the property. Craig , Paul, and Matt have some great ideas about a cabin/ workshop. I am going to combine the wood fired shed, blacksmithing area and bow making areas into one central location what will have an archery range connected to it. The current plan is timber framing covered with board and batten and shake roof.

Happy B-day JB!!  Have you got your AARP card filled out and ready to mail yet?

Last night went well, layed it out and cut everything that didnt look like a bow off with the band saw.  Cleaned it up a little.  Before I go in tonight, it will be ruff shaped and partially floor tillered.

I really need to sharpen my big rasp, shes a little dull.

Hey Matt is this the SOB stave? I worked the mentor bow some more yesterday and Paul and I tillered out that splice bow. That stave that Steve used to make his bow must have been real strange. He broke one limb when the bow was just about tillered out. The other end we used on the spliced bow and as we shot it in we noticed a splinter lifting yet again and the ring is fat. I guess some wood is use not going to make a bow. Anyway I had to wrap it but is was a opportunity to photo the process for Tyler's bow
