Very good looking stuff Parnell. 
I just got the heat corrections done last night, along with the temper.  Hope it works.  Locust is a great teacher.  That's what I have to keep telling myself anyway ::).

There are some sweet looking bows being made.  I look forward to seeing more pictures of that Iroquois design bow.  I am making progress I have two in the works #1 is a rawhide backed ERC and #2 is a Hickory Algonquin style long bow.

Weather is finally beginning to cooperate so I did a little rasp and scraper work outside today. Almost to floor tiller so I'll give it another go and begin some heat corrections over the next week or two.
Still not sure if this is the one with a few others also getting some attention.

Saw it too, and shot it. D bar is right, not only looks good but it was like it shot itself when I flung about a dozen arrows through it. Couldn't believe how sweet shooting and accurate it was,....... ooooh that baby was nice to shoot.

I'm  baffled. Have mine floor tillered and on the long string. I'm shooting for 50# minimum and only have 18.5 oz remaining to work with. 65" NTN, 1 1/2" fades and the last 14" tapering to 1/2". 
I know I'm going to lose another oz and maybe 1 .5  finishing the handle area leaving me with a total mass of 17.
It's pulling 30@20. Is this even doable?

Okey dokey, it's June 1st, summertime and the livin' is easy!  Time to pack the cooler and the hammock and head for the lake.  Lawn's gotta get mowed, roofs shingled, garden weeded (NOT AGAIN!), and about eleventy-million other things. 

Summer also means we are down the back straight-away on this horserace and there ain't time to rock back in the saddle and enjoy the view of all the horses arses ahead of you.  Time to lean in because turn number three is just ahead of us and if you aren't moving up in the pack, you better be ready to explain why!

And just like your teachers back in school, me and Bowman are asking you to show your work!  No fair just making and sending your bow, show your work, send teaser photo's along the way!
