I always thought the guys at the classic slept on the ground like real Trad guys do?:)

I sleep on the ground Roy.  Well, on an air mattress on the ground  ;D

Been hauling my tractor around tilling gardens for friends this week. Had 8 lined up to till, told the friends and relatives I would be doing the tilling his week and to have their gardens cleared off and ready. Guess how many actually had their gardens ready for me, one, yep, only one.

Sure is hard to do a free favor for some folk. Think I will go out to the shop and make a bow, my osage is always ready.

Yesterday I made some tip overlays from 5,000 year old Irish bog oak and glued them to a James Parker bowblank.

Today I shaped them (roughly) and in a little while will file in the string grooves and finish the tips off.

I ain't got a bandsaw so I'm gonna have to cut the arrow shelf out by hand...  Fingers crossed  :-\

Going to rasp out the grip/handle as I'm wary of powertools and the closest thing I have to one is a small belt sander.

I blew the day off work and whipped up a new osage bow yesterday. I also Got 3 boo arrows made and 5 cedars sealed, plus cleaned up the basement and rearranged some band equipment. That was well worth the 8 hours of vacation time I used!
