The boys are really growing Pappy. So glad you get to enjoy quality time with them. I’m sure you are making memories that will last them a lifetime.

Was wondering how your gold fish were doing. I was just talking to a buddy of mine who has a setup much like yours and he was worried about it being too cold in his shed. I told him that you get ice on yours. I think his probably stays a little warmer than yours.

I love them
the variations of the handles are really nice
great work 

Felt like trying to make a bow again. Last attempt blew up on me because I didn't give it enough time to rest after steaming. I remember the standard measurements for the most part but I need some help with non-ideal staves. Here's the rundown:

1. What cross section do I use on high crown saplings? If I square the corners, I lose width. Do I just round it off?
2. Can I compensate for a lack of width by increasing length? Sounds like it'll get whippy and I should drop the poundage instead
3. When I get to cut some wood, do I peel and seal or just paint the ends?

Dave i second your amazing work.  Ive been watching your horn bow progress and just so impressed with how this one came together. 

It will be interesting to see how this one comes together.  When you say bung hole do you mean that knot hole on the one limb?
