Finished up all my staves we had split.  Total of 28 staves in 13 days.  Not all shown here

Nice haul. I chased some osage rings the other day and realised how much more I enjoy it than other woods.  

I was lucky enough to work 3-11 today. Triple time $$$, but that's only nice on pay day. But it does pay for more bow making materials:)

Charlie ole boy, I guess they are OK:)

where ya work Roy, turkey processing plant?          

Try and put bigbob2 on your thumpin list Roy!    
Dave.

He is right up among the top of the list, Dave:)

Got one of my staves chased to a final ring.  Moisture content was at 20 percent just at the sap wood, so it has some drying to do.  And I have to finish it up around the knots and pin knots that I left proud.  But a really good looking stave with great growth rings.

Very nice Charlie Ole Boy. Ya need my address, son?

Got a HBI on the short string. One limb is a bit stiff without even having to draw it, so time to scrape a bit.

Gonna need lllloooooonnnnggggg arms Roy              

I ain't skeered BB2:) I'll meet ya at town square in Turkey Foot, Australia:)

Thanks Roy.  You want the ends that I cut off???

Sure Charlie, long as they are 35" long:)

Roflmbo....you got it Roy...lol

Finished my HBERC

 

 



Came in at #40 @ 28" 62" NtN 1 3/4" at the fades down to 1/2" tips. It took about 1 1/4" of set, but I was expecting that since I glued it up straight.

that is a good looking bow for sure.

Got 28 full length staves and 11 billets split out.

Nice Ole Boy:)

Split a little over a rick of firewood with a maul. Someday I'll buy a wood splitter and save my back.

Heck I got a wood splitter    All you boys can just send your logs up this way and I prommise to split them into as many staves as I can use,,,I mean see
