With that set of ears you have, you would think you could get enough wax to do about anything you need it to. ;D

Finally completed two shorties that I sinew backed at the Kalamazoo Expo back in January.  A couple grips, strings.  Tried something new for me with some muskrat fur that I got from Drums.  They're 50" and 49" NTN, 42#@26 and 47#@24.

Turkey hunted this morning, saw 10 deer, called in one hen, heard no gobblers.

Glued on a new limb on an osage bow I was helping a friend make. He pulled it back to about to full draw on the long string before it was anywhere near ready, KAPOW! Seeing as how this is his first osage stave bow attempt I replaced the broken limb so he can proceed with his build.

Put the first coat of finish on another bow rebuild I am doing for a friend.

I heat bent my first wood today. I made a small caul just for bending lams for mollies. I am bending the area at the fades a little for a better fit with the thicker lams. I am redoing a hard maple molle that I added osage lams to last year. It still has more set than I would like, so I took the osage off and more of the hard maple and am adding thicker osage lams to the belly. The bow looked and shot too good not to try to save it.
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.

Oh, that's just too nice to be primitive!

Parrots aren't very common in Ohio. I guess someone left the door open.  ;D

Nice that you found the greencheek before it became an exotic dinner for some hawk. 

Speaking of hawkfood....I was in the local farm and ranch store looking at baby chicks and bunnies.  All I could think was how much fun my birds would have with dinner tonite.   >:D
