Yeeaaaw! That'll leave a mark. I ran a piece of wire off a rotary wire brush through my palm once and had a thorn pierce my ear clean through, but neither hurt that bad.

To make matters worse, Wee-wicki did something spectacular.  Mommy says, "Yay Dan!" 
"Clap, Honey"  She says to me, so what did I do?

Clap - Clap   "Yay Dan!"  Ooh, ouch owwwww! 
Miss Heather laughed.  >:D
That hurt.  It wasn't funny.....    :(

Now that's funny, and not   ;D

I'd keep that stave Matt...it's already drawn blood before becoming a bow...natural born killer, lol

I'm guessig the bow made from that stave gets a special name.

I'm guessing it has already heard a few of them when it happened. Had a few go clear through various parts of my hands. I don't even want to know what Bubby's friend was doing to get such a heinous wound(bad karma) I'd say the longest I've had was about 6" but I don't think the length really counts whe it comes through the other side as only a couple inches is actually in the skin ;)
       Keep a close eye on that for infection and blood poisoning! I know a couple guys who were lucky to keep their limbs and lives with a sliver that went bad. There are chemical compounds in wood that are still a mystery to science. I'm guessing Osage has it's share of them.  It should stop hurting .....................after a few days. Get well!

I like to think that a project isn't real until I bleed on it. Maybe I'm just clumsy. Pretty much every one of my bows has some blood under the finish somewhere.

On the fingernail thing - my friend got a thorn under a fingernail so deep it was unreachable. It had somehow gone all the way to the cuticle but the end of the thorn was over 1/4 inch deeper than the tip of the fingernail. Rather than go to the hospital, he got some sandpaper, a razor, tweezers, and a whole mess of disinfectant. He sanded the nail thin (from the top) and cut a channel to reach inside and remove the thorn. It worked. I can't imagine the pain. This was when we were teenagers, so he couldn't even get good and drunk first. Looking back, I kind of think we should have gone to the hospital - just for the pain relief.

Uff!  When I was first making arrows, I left my quill high and didn't wrap the fletching.  Shooting off my finger I pierced the quill through the top meat of my left index finger and ripped the fletching off the arrow.  It was traumatic enough that I didn't even scream, just knew I had done something really wrong!

The hurt part came when I snippped it in half and had to pull it out!

You've come a long way, baby!

I was workin with a tree trimmin buddy one time and we were clearing a bunch of scrub stuff so a company could build a cell tower. One of the trees that got lopped off was a honey locust with nice healthy "spurs". Somehow a branch got pulled back while I was backin up and then let go, sending one of those 3" thorns right into the back of my calf. I quickly grabbed a pair of pliers and tried to pull it out. Trouble was my leg muscles were so tight the thorn wouldn't release. After I realized this, I was able to pull out about an inch of trouble and couldn't believe how much had been imbedded in my leg. I wen ahead and finished the day and never did get an infection or even a sore spot! Couldn't believe it...

With a situation like this,I recommend a stiff quaff of single malt and some rubbing alcohol into the wound. That'll clear things up !
