is one of my favorite ways to spend a saturday morning is sitting by the fire.
why not put that fire to work straightening a hickory bow thats been sitting around way too long.
both limbs veered to the side
this one just had a slight bend

15 mins or so waving that puppy over the fire, then took it to the tree

worked pretty well

my neighbor josh and his daughter came over to enjoy the fire and sing me a tune or two
