How cool is that, Sadie. Way more room than the 1/4 of my garage my wife lets me have. You'll be spittin em out in no time, now.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Sadie, I am dead jealous over those windows.  Natural light just can't be duplicated!  Hope some day I can decorate the floor with some curls from my spokeshave!

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Well...... You all might remember my post of a few weeks ago about removing monster poplar tree from my back yard.

We had company yesterday afternoon, never heard a sound, looked out my back window on my way through the house and saw this.



Much more massive than the poplar I removed previously. This is going to be a challenge to get rid of by myself. Anybody need 4 or 5 cords of good red oak firewood?

On this site I guess I should offer" free red oak bow staves. you cut,  all you want for free".

Packed up the truck and trailer to head out to the 3 day Pa Longbow Association shoot at Marsh Hill in the morning. Have about 6 bows and 60 arrows loaded up too:) Nice 4 hour drive north through the mountains to get there:)

  Well, I just got back from hiking half dome and I'm dead tired...
but I got a bit of tillering done on my yew war bow stave, which I got from Carson, and also broke my scale... :(
the thing was reading about 50-60 ish pounds at about 17-18" when the knot in the rope that pulled the scale let go.  I thought it was another explosion, :o
but the yew is undamaged.
I'm taking this bow real slow right now. I would be real bummed out if it blew, and after I whip-tillered my last yew war bow attempt I'm really paranoid.  :-\
at least I have an actual tillering tree now.

I also finished up this knife that I had been working on.

I spent most of today with the wife and kids.  Today is the first day of summer vacation for them.  We played some cornhole, tossed a frisbee around the yard, grilled some burgers, and I let my son drive me up and down the road a few times.  I did find some time to do some tillering on a short sinew backed bow.  Its getting close.  I need to get the handle bending a bit more and work on a stiff spot in the top limb.  Its holding more than 2" of reflex.

I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I started on my winter storage of vegetables and camping/hunting food this morning.  Six pounds of white mushrooms, but only five fit in the dehydrator.

@ Livefortheoutdoors - You came all the way to Yosemite and did not stop to visit me in the NDN Museum? I am verily crushed! Next time perhaps.
