I don't know if frustrated is the right word. Maybe just not as determined as I was when I started it. But it's definitely in the right hands now sleek! Patrick

Ok according to my daughter when she got back to my house in KS from our FL trip, she tripped over a long package. When my wife gets back to KS next week she will send it down to GA. So by next weekend I should have pics up of a new bow. I dont know for sure which swap or trade it is from, Most likly this one though.

I am slow going on my bow but steady. I have the Osage bow on the short string. It still needs a bit of heat but the string is close enought to tiller. I also have the hickory prymid bow tips moving but it is still not on the short string.

So as long as I can get a weekend ot work on it I should have options to send off by the end of the month.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

I just did and there's definitely a couple messages I haven't read, must have opened my inbox and gone absentminded from there.

I'm on it ;)

My plan B (which has changed a bit, if you count all my plans it would be probably plan F by now) is just about finished, just need to check the tiller on the final draw and work it in.  Going to put some time into the plan A this weekend and see how it goes. Need to get on it though.

I've got two HHb bows glued up, one bamboo backed, other not backed. I plan on some fuming experiments with both and an osage short static recurve, so I'm pushing the deadline, but will ship on time.

I'm giving up recording the string, should be a couple days between working on a 75" 60#@33" flatbow.

Yeah, those numbers are right.

Well I got the osage bow limbs moving a bit not quite on a short string but it is close. I want to get it tillered out then I have to heat it again. Once it is resting form the heat up to get the string more centered. The hickory bow will get some love from me. I really want to work on that one. I have never done a pyrimid bow.
