All are looking good I'm still narrowing down my wood choices, down to three elm, BL, or osage.

Ok got my guys piece of gold all tillered this morning and shooting. Shot about 20 or so out of it. Man does it thump an arrow . I don't know if I want to send this one out to my unsuspecting victim . Might have to make another . This thing shoots to good. Lol . If all goes as planned I will have the final sanding ( that is not much) and burnish it and get some true oil on her .and a grip and she may be on the way to her new owner next week so its almost porch watching time . I am going to let %#/:;/ post the first pictures of the bow

You guys are making me feel way behind already. Have one to finish before i can start my trade bow. Have overlays drying right now and hope to start shooting it and doing final tiller adjustments tomorrow. Hopefully i can start on my victims bow next weekend.

You know the turtle wins in the end, right?  ;)

I got kinda ill overnight, got plan A to a four inch brace and that's where it'll be until I feel like using tools again.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Don't feel bad turtle. I have 3 to finish up before I get started on my trade bow.

Me too. If I could have gotten away with it I would have worked in bed, but I guessed shavings would be no fun to sleep with. I guess I'd have no way to check tiller either, 'cept for by looking at the brace.

I just need a tarp and a mirror by my bed >:D

Nah, I should be back at it tomorrow. Monday at the latest. I've at least got a build along, trade bow, and a bow for display to tiller, and let me tell you they're nagging me.
