Title: Charged with voodoo
Post by: richpierce on March 07, 2008, 12:58:02 pm
A friend of mine sent me some flax fibers- a lot of it- and some elk sinew in a trade.  Somehow he sent it to my work address; I guess because it's on my emails.  I work in a research lab.  One of my techs opened the package and screamed when she saw the stuff inside.  She thought the flax was human hait and the sinew was some kind of bones- thought I was into some kind of voodoo or something.  It really IS hard to explain what I intend to do with these things to "modern" people.  The more I explain, the weirder looks I get!

My Neighbors and the offices down stairs from me know I like making bows, and it does not bother them that I hack away on boards and logs and shoot arrows into a target on a big piece of plywood. The guy next door to my place is a drummer and he's not afraid of any arrows going through the wall,Cause he Knows I don't Miss the Target, Nobody thinks I'm wierd cause of what I make or do they just think I'm Wierd period.HA HA ;D in an Artistic way that is. >:D

    we havnt got a whole lot of eastern red cedar around here, and the bug has bit me to make a elb out of it. the only problem is that it only grows in town, in peoples front yards. you should have seen the looks and responses i got when i asked if i could cut their nice "pine" tree for a bow. one guy asked how i was going to put the cams on it!!!! "i just kinda chuckled and said, naw my bows dont need training wheels." i love it!!!!
