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.

Black locust. Black locust everywhere.

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 ;)
