Well I hate to change the subject,but I got the bow braced last night and out to 21 in. it is
41 lb. now and I haven't cut it down yet.I got a hold of Manny yesterday and he gave me some advice on the bow wood ,so I feel better now about it.The bottom limb is stiff and the top limb
has a little to much bend in about the same place the bottom is stiff.I have plenty of wood to work with so it should be fine.Just needs to go slow now.It has about 2 1/2 of back set after 30 minutes rest and a 1 5/8 right after unstrung.Look and tell me what yall think.I plan on finishing tillering this weekend.It is still 68 n-n but I plan to cut it down to 65.

Pappy, looking good! I'm with you, I think I'd stay off that top limb for a while until they get balanced up. That knot still giving some trouble?

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Yes the knot in the top limb in the first part of the last 1/3 has give me a little trouble.just got
to get it to bend a little through it.There is also a spot in the lower limb that I have had a little trouble with.I think it will be fine just need to take it slow.

Hey rebs, I found some wool thread that is going to be perfect for your sock. Still want a gray one? Anyone have any color suggestions? Or are you going to just trust the poor overworked weaver? :)

PS Thanks for the translation of that exotic food - wow! Someone really eats that stuff? :)

Dane, I for one trust your judgement to create whatever color and style you think might be appropriate for us poor rebels! We ain't none of us to choosy! Did I mention that you're okay for a yank! ;D

As for the "exotic food", you just don't know what you're missing! Ever been frog gigging? Yum! ;)
