it's like SPRING today!
« on: February 07, 2015, 02:53:03 pm »
Wayyyy up in the 50's today combined with sun/sun/sun.  Not gonna waste this one!
Finished a lil 56" hickory self bow couple weeks ago. 37# @ 25".  Stained the back and danish oil on belly. Wrapped handle with hemp twine.
This was perrrrfect day to shoot it a bunch!

... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

80s today in the valley, clear skies and breezy.  SO nice.  Supposed to be nice early next week, I'll definitely be bending my sticks.

Heat wave here in Mid Michigan yesterday - around 34 deg., the eaves were dripping all day and We lost some of the snow from the last blast ! Bob

High winds here the last couple days, although not very cold with some rain. Pretty nice today upper 40's low 50's cloudy with little to no rain, full overcast.
My two cents worth of wisdom
One who seeks solitude will find their inner spirit.
