Got one of my Cain arrows set up and tried out for hunting,flies like a dart,now to make up some more just like this one. ;) :) Jon gluing up some tip overlays on his new Osage bow. ;) I got Cluck's Osage on the form,looking good so far. :) Chuck and Will cutting more slats for some composit bows. :) GregB giving Don some lessons on selfbow making,this is Don's first. ;) :)

Will and Chuck trying out a jig to get the first cut on a log straight so they can cut slats,seemed to work great. :) Don still at it,I think he is hooked already. :) Jon's overlays finished. :) Beau showed up with a late Father's day gift,ratchet straps,he knows how I need them for all my stands,very much appreciated,I love to get gifts I can use. ;) :) :)

More slats cut,that new shop area is really getting a work out. :) :) Chuck's Osage off the form,the smile says it all. ;) :) Bridge cross poles set and fixed into place,next step is to start planking and build a couple of sets of stairs to get up and down. That's it for this week,like I said a great productive weekend. Hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good.  ;) :) :) :)

It is cool Eddie,I feel pretty sure he won't hunt with it even tho he says he is. :-\ Clint I couldn't do it without all the guys that is for sure.  :) Very blessed to have good folks around me with somewhat the same intrest. :) Got my Osage out to 45@ 23 yesterday,ready to do a little short draw shooting and finish it up. Maybe today  :-\

Got my Osage out to 53@25 yesterday,shot it about 50 shots, also got the shelf/grip area worked out like I wanted. A little more tweaking on the weight and tiller and it should be good to go. It has a couple of knots in the fad area and comes out of the handle at different angles on each limb,also several ripples in each limb so it has been a bugger to try and get right. Lots of flipping back and forth to see what it is really looking like.  ;)  :)

Ya we put it that way because we have had the other one knocked out several times,the water never gets to it but big tree stumps come down the creek from time to time and will take it out,we plan on building a stair case and wanted it high enough where any stumps/logs would pass under without a problem,I think it will now. :) :) If this works like we think it will we plan on another one beside the other swinging bridge on the far end of the camping area. :)

It looks really strong I think you guys did a great job on it. Been thinking of doing the same here on the creek. With all the other projects on the table it is kinda down on the list for now. Keep the pictures coming it has been fun watching it come together.

Friday for me,off for the 4th,hope everyone has a fun and safe day. Not sure on my plans,I told Miss Joanie what ever she wanted to do was fine with me, as of last night she hadn't decided yet.  ??? :-\ so once she figures that out I can make plans. :) I will probably spend the next couple of days at home with her and head
down to the Cabin Saturday morning,either way it should be a good one. Shot my
Osage in yesterday so I am ready to start the finishing work other than that just some relaxing. Hope yall have a good one. See ya Monday. :) Life is Good. :)
