Dang....We know who has all the Money now.....AmericInn......dem aint no Super 8's......etter not shoot at their Chair Cushions!!!

I think they may frown on me shooting the cushins.   I did go out back and shoot a little.  That was after I took a little off the stiff limb.  It's still may be a little stiff, but for some reason when it's at the top I hit every leaf I point it at!!! Whit the other limb up, I hit a little to the right.   I guess the stiff one wants to be the top limb.

Now for my questions:   How much should I shoot it before sanding smooth and putting a finish on it?

                                   What kind of finsih?  I wanted just a rub on finish, I don't want to spray it.  I was thinking of
                                   lindseed  oil.

[El Destructo]

Once you are happy with the Tiller...shoot it 50 - 100 times....sand Her smooth.....check the Tiller again to make sure the finish sanding wasn't too much....and then rub 4-5 good coats of Linseed Oil into Her.....I like the smell of Linseed Oil....some cant stand it....but for sure the Maids will smell it!!!!

I work in the chip mill buisness this means I can shoot at the mill after work also a nice pile of about 10.000 cords of bow wood laying around.R.C.

I like the way Shaun thinks too.

[George Tsoukalas]

You did an excellent job on that. If you find the handshock a bit much take some wood off mid limb on. If not you are good to go. great you can work in a motel. Jawge

Holy cow! another adjuster. That's what I do when I have to support my bow habit. Got a call to go to MNPLS about two weeks ago but was still busy near home with local claims. I have worked for the Crawford Co branch up there almost every year, good folks. I did a storm there for SF a couple years back and told them I had to leave by the end of October for the rut. The said the what??? I went to Gander Mt and got a paper antler set (kinda like a BK crown) and stuck it up on my Delbert cubical. Turned in my files on Oct 30 and hurried home to climb into a tree stand. Gotta have priorities.

I like TruOil for a finger rub on finish. Pick it up at WalMart in the sporting goods section around the gun cleaning goop - its a gun stock finish and comes in little brown plastic bottles. About $5 and you can put on a coat every few hours with light buffing between.

Good luck with the roofers
