Glad to meet you. Sure wish I had this hobbie as a kid. Id be a different man now.  We are all willing to help, so dont be afeared to holler.

Same here sleek....but I'm glad I found this hobby when I did...made sobriety much more tolerable and possible.

I have not had any luck with cutting wood and drinking. Pat seen me ruin a real nice stave doing dumb stuff like that.  And if you are always makin bows, then you never got time to drink.  Good on you for your sucess. I know its not easy.

stix, you just keep posting pictures. We won't let you ruin it.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

David, you've got us all fighting over your next bow -- good to have a lot of customers! :laugh: :laugh:

I got my victim tonight, and now I know what to do with some wood! :)
I love it when a plan B comes together....

Here's a pic of me, and a pic of the stave I'm probably going to be working with.  Yall think I can get  two bendy handle bows from that?

Alright, I figured out plan a now that I have my victim.  I am going with my black locust.  I cut it down to 62 inches.  Now I need to even the width of the limbs up.  I have a good ring chased already.  After evening up the limbs I will be glueing on tip overlays.

Sidmand,
        I dont believe any of my woodland bendys are more than 1-1/8" wide, and especially using that yeller stuff you probably wont need to go more than 1" wide (finished dimension)

Holy Cow David, these guys are already a bad influence on you what with that "victim"  secret answer and all  >:D

Picked out a stave of black locust me and a friend cut 3 years ago. Got a ring chased. Check out that hump over the knot.
