I may spend a little time in the shop but for the most part taking the day off to spend with the wife a 5 kids.
Little BBQ, horseshoes, volleyball and more BBQ.
Life is good....... Happy fathers day all.

Wife leaves for work at 2PM, so I have a BBO to finish tillering and a couple of takedown birch plywood forms to finish up. 90 degrees here in SW Pa, but the shop has AC:) Happy Fathers Day guys..

I've been out there already today...put some more tru oil on a graduation gift bow for one of my students, prepped a BBO  for some stain, and after not being happy with anything else I tried, I just "blotted" 3 different colors of stain on a BBO belly and sides...I think it will be great for hunting...not too excited about working out in the shop since it's 90 already...

I'll call my dad later today and my sons had better get in touch with me too... LOL.

Spent most of the day with my daughter and wife.  I did get to put about 40 arrows through a 2 pc. osage take down that I finshed tillering yesterday, so far so good.
