I've been working on a couple of different staves for bows but for me it seems to be a futile effort. Looks like my guys going to get a stave, some back sinew, and a plains style quiver full of arrows.
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.

Matt in reference to "The wood speaks to you. You just have to listen."
My Dad once said to me, "God gave you two ears and only one mouth, there must be a good reason for it, so why don't you ponder on that for awhile".
I keep on looking and listening to that wood and I am getting better but I'm just not there yet.
I know my guy can work this down but he's going to have to do the finesse work himself.  Hopefully, if my instincts are correct, he'll have some nice well matched arrows to enjoy while he's breaking it in.

Fred, that not only looks like a great set, it's awful generous of you to give so much. I'm sure the recipient will be super pleased!!

To be honest I haven't seen anything posted here that I wouldn't be very please if Santa brought to my house.  I'm in the shop today working on my gifts.  OH SO MUCH FUN.

Man, wishing I would have gotten in on this. I was feeling so busy at the time but I think I could have managed it. Awesome stuff! I'll do it next year.
