And yea I changed my name.....and I don't know how I feel about that. I would know, but someone stole my mood ring.
Anyway, it seems more fitting since I don't make bows very often anymore.
More punch notch practice. The wide dogleg would be all abo if I had been braver and used an antler punch instead of copper but baby steps I guess.

Nice job on that punch knotching. Some people use steel welding rods.
-

Nice collection. Your gonna make me wanna try some Thebes. Too late, I already wanna.
-
Oh man Paul...do it! I'm sure yours would blow mine away.

Don't underscore yourself Daniel! Your making some fine stuff. I've finally reached the point where I can say, I've been doing this for a long time. And if you'll notice, everything I make is pretty much done in the same style flake wise. Anyway, you'll develop skills you won't even notice as you go along. What a ride, aye ;D?
Just so ya know, I couldn't get anything out of that rock you sent me. I tell ya, I have some challenging rock here but that stuff was above and beyond what I could work with. If you can make something out of it, hats off :).

Nothing!? Man living in a rockless state must really be honing my skills cuz I think I could have managed to get several out it. Especially the smaller Mill Creek pieces. Did you try those?
-
I got a couple little point but nothing to brag about.
