Just had some pin knots pop out of a static area. The sound scared me silly. I do love my black locust  ::)

If some random person is wondering, I'd be happy with anything, especially anything new.

Mollegabets all day long.
Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

If I remember correctly the u-finish bow I purchased from Dan Quillian  years ago was hickory backed cherry. It was an amazing bow and got me thinking self bow instead of F/G. Probably the main reason I started making my own.

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.

Plan A looks like a bow. It has knocks, a handle, levers and limbs, and there's even a string!
It's a tillering string, but it's a string.
And it's cold.

I'm trying, been a little while since I've used glue for anything besides leather and twine!

You're welcome, can't wait to see what you nail some poor fool with ;)
