nothing to write home about, but i did get finished tillering that hickory bow i was playing in the fire with over the wkend.
my first completed bow other than osage....
now to get a few more arrows thru it

also worked out a nasty hinge on an old bow someone else started yrs ago and ive been trying to finish up.
funny how when ya dont chase the ring yrself, it just feels weird, like im not really quite sure whats going on under the "skin" of this bow.
one limb is much heavier than the other. the light limb, man was there a hinge from hell...but finally got the rest of the limb working enough to even it all out.
now to take the stout limb down to match....

Today was his first day back to school in a week and a half.  Still waiting for test results to show something.  Thanks for asking.

Now where's those bow pics.

Well it's not very primitive, but I had an urge to do some leatherwork, so I made a holster for my primitive flip-phone.  I usually have it in my pocket with a bunch of change, a jack-knife, and lots of other pointy, scratchy stuff, so I figured it would hold up a little better in this instead.

Sweet leather work on that phone holder Cameroo. I like to keep it primitive with the flip phone also, none of that newfangled high- tech
I-Phone business in my camp. ;)

Nice work Cam.
Last night my wife and son were away from home so after dinner I got to work on knife handles for the obsidian and glass blades that have been accumulating around the house.   Got a few more to make and then some sanding and grinding to pretty up the handles.  Antler and a repurposed hatchet handle so far.  Yes, when I get them done I will post pics.

Oh good!  I was afraid you might be out of digital film.
