Scott chasing a king I mean "Ring" (Video added)
« on: December 23, 2012, 10:28:52 am »
Before I post this video I have a question/ contest (no prizes)...how long do you folks think it takes Scott (stringman) to chase a stave down about 6 rings? You will have 24 hours to vote. Your guess should include seconds! The time will be scored from when he starts with draw knife and  stops when he is done with the draw knife. The time after when he is cleaning the stave with scraper will not be counted.

To be fair, I should add that this was a belly split and was well seasoned. I didn't have to fight the sap wood and the wood was relatively straight with 1 knot.

Good luck! :D

PRIMITIVE ARCHERY what other way can you play with sticks and rocks all day and not look like a little kid

Every time i shoot at a bunny i recall the wise words of Elmer Fudd "I've got you now you waskally wabbit!"

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Since your gonna post a video it can't be that long,cus no ones gonna watch 20+ mins of a dude chasing a ring( I know I ain't) ;)

I'm saying 4 mins 55seconds  :o


I'm sure its less than I guessed....especially since it was a belly split...I wished you would've taken a pic of it before he chased it n posted that..it all depends on how well it split out..sometimes belly splits run a good portion of one ring,n it only takes a few minutes to run a ring if your in a race
