It was cold here today to but not in the shop. An apprentice bowyers came by  so I helped him and I worked on an elm I have had speed drying in my hot box. A week at 100 degrees it feels and works like its pretty dry. I've got it floor tillered and I'm hoping that I can keep all of the prop twist as well as some of the heartwood in limbs. I haven't heat treated it yet or even heat corrected it.  dont think I'm going to have to.

 

 

Then I worked on my trade bow for trad gang a bit to.

I got to slide across three lanes of traffic today when a 150 year old lady pulled out in front of my truck. I still hit her but she wasn't hurt and I kept from T-boning her in the drivers door. Now I get to take a drug test in the morning.

[Dvshunter]

That sucks. Hope you studied food the test.

[osage outlaw]

Did you get hurt Mullet?  I bet you will be sore tomorrow.  Drink lots of water.

[seabass]

sorry to hear that Eddie.glad everyone made it out ok.

[mullet]

Clint, nobody got hurt. My knee was sore last night from standing on the brake so hard. I was doing about 10mph when I finally hit her Caddy. She never saw me till I hit her in the median

Today, I did absolutely nothing.  Got up this morning and it was 6 degrees here.  Now to some that is nothing, but to us, it has been years since it got down that cold.  Three more days of it so they say.  So this ole boy stayed in the house and did nothing.
