I've been following this and things are looking good. Reminds me of the other 2 CB projects we had in the past, one of which crashed and burned. Actually I think we had 2 that crashed and burned. The EuroCB didn't make it last time around either

Why bother Jamie. Just something else to clutter up the shop. With work like that you don't need no stinking cresting jig.   Pat

 Awesome Jamie,  The colors are great.  What do you all think for color of the points.  I made a couple yesturday out of some striped obsidian. But I have black, black with gray strips, clear/smokey brown, mahogany(black w/ red), punkin(brownish orange), gold flake obsidian and some rainbow. It's some times hard to see the rainbow colors in the points though. Also do we want these square based or barbed ?  I know many states that you can't hunt with barbed.   Keenan
  I'll dig through the rock pile I may be able to find a piece of red jasper big enough.

That tiller looks gret Matt.
Dane, I really enjoyed the posts on weaving. Just seeing that loom made me remember my summer working in the weaving room at Callaway Mills here in JawJa. We had 4 rows of 6 of the large industrial models of looms. My job was dolpher. That meant I went down the row with a full cart of thread bobbin's on one side of me and a cart of empty bobin spindles on the other side. I took the empties off with one hand and put full bobbins on with the other. LOL's...thats was a loooong summer. ;D and those shuttles could get dangerous sometimes and fly off too.
Thanks Dane.

Thanks for the kind words, JPitt. Sorry, I've been so busy with work, I have had almost zero time for the board, or for anything else lately.

Those industrial looms are facinating beasts. They have a museum in Lowell, the Boot (sp?) mill, a preserved 19th century mill that is a National Park now, and when they crank up all 20 or so looms, it is almost deafeing, and the room shakes.

I finished card weaving a border, and so just have to get to sewing the sock together, then starting the Southern boy's sock. They saved the tater sack, thankfully.

Jamie, if those were my arrows, I would be terrified of using them at all, for fear of breaking or loosing them. Your work is fantastic.

Don't worry about a thing, Greg. The materials are all ready, it is just getting a bit of time to get it woven. I came off a 35 days or so straight with no time off, and after one Sunday off, here I am back to a few more weeks with no time off. I'll get it done, even if I have to skip some sleep, though. I'm already a zombie - "must...eat...brains." Can't get much worse :)
