We don't deal with fiberglass lam bows. Only wood lam bows, selfbows or wood bows with natural backing, here on PA.

I put down a big heavy duty tarp in the driveway before it started. I rigged it up to a chain and used a winch to pull the tarp with the snow on it across the road and into the woods. It left a perfectly clean driveway down to bare gravel. Saved a lot of shoveling.

« Last post by WhistlingBadger on February 02, 2026, 02:44:39 pm »Besides the usual school and home stuff, I'm getting things ready for the "Beginning Band for Grownups" class that starts tomorrow. I've been thinking about doing this for several years, and I'm excited to get it started. I have at least fifteen people signed up. If anybody wants to join, it isn't too late...but the commute might be tough for some of you.
Hopefully it won't be too long before we're sounding better than Eric's crows.
