You folks along with the gents who wrote the Traditional Bower's Bibles 1 & 2 (those I've read so far) have motivated me this year to create my own bows.  Scrounging, working, cutting, drying, pounding and seperating has finally produced enough material to equipt a small army, or at least some friends and myself, a few wittled bows for this coming year.  I am currently using a couple board hickory bows and look forward to starting more of them and self bows, too.
 
Not all of the chunks but a goodly pile to work with of osage and hickory.  The Ash is in the garage rafters.


When I read the chapter on sinew I thought, "What idiot would take the time to do that when there is perfectly good fiberglass available?"  I answered my own question.  There is about 55 leg tendons there and 4 backs.  The two magazines are completely full of sinew threads, too.


This is a recurve jig I sawed out the other day for a future project.
I'm afraid I've caught the bug.

Looks like you should be busy for awhile. Have fun and make sure you post some of your creations.

The most frightening thing you are likely to encounter in nature is yourself.

Don't fight it - go with the flow. Its almost the time of year to start scraping and rasping. Have fun.
