Curves are more fun
« on: March 07, 2009, 07:35:50 pm »
I dug some Osage out of the wood pile and split some staves. One of them caught my eye and I headed for the bow bench.
Got into it and forgot to grab the camera before I had it down to one ring.

Quite Snaky....but also very doable....with a little Heat and some Mojo....You should be able to keep most of the Snakiness and still get that String to lay right down the Middle
