i got back on here to say that the knife you got from Dan is awesome.is that cedar scales on it?what ever it is,i love it.he did a great job.

Pappy · « **Reply #9491 on:** July 17, 2013, 06:43:30 am »

Thanks Steve,yes it is cedar scales,the wood came from the post I cut the notch out to mount my old drill press. That is the post from my original bow shop. :)Pretty cool,so he gave me the knife.

Got Randy's bow out to 45@25 last night.
Put it back on the form for some heat treating and then plan on flipping the tips
and then take some weight off as I tweak the tiller,still lots of wood looking for 45@28.

Got to mow grass and take Sally to the vet for final shots this evening so it will be Thursday before I can move forward on it. Plan on having it ready for Will's tips and grip this weekend,then on to Jon for the finish work. Sorta of a comunity bow. Just moving a little quicker than the other one I am involved in.

for those that have followed that in primitive skills [frindship circle bow] thread know what I am talking about.
