Those bear steaks do look delicious. The skulls turned out great. I don’t have a Bob cat skull yet. None around here yet. A few years ago a single one passed through and raided the neighbors geese pen. The DNR relocated it a little further north.

Hope the shoulder surgery goes well Pappy.

Sleek it seems like you have a few bows already.

I would like to donate a flint knife. Would you like it for this drawing, or would you prefer to start some prizes for next year?

PS there’s at least one of those poster covers that I like Pat . My article about my second selfbow buck is in the one. “All in a Days Work”

Oh I did that once. Scare the bah gee bees out of me. Barely touched the string but it broke so fast it totally took me by surprise.

It’s a thumper right now Del. I don’t know if it will hold up or take a lot of set. That’s probably the big question. I think it is pretty stressed, but so far it is holding up okay.

Thanks Pat it really does.

Almost forgot how good it feels to bring a piece of wood back to life again.

Nice bow, Brian. Bet it feels good getting back to making shavings.

Put a braced curve in the bow with heat. That way it should keep that shape because it is not being strained.

OK, some pics at last.  This is one weird piece of wood.  If I can get a shooter out of it I'll be pretty happy.

Unbraced.  The lines are at 4" and 6" above the belly.


Braced.


I got about five scrapes off the belly before I nicked the string with my scraper...so I made a new string instead of scraping more.   ::)
