i remember somebody here, collected some river canes to make arrows.

as i am addictive to river cane arrows, i am itching to ask if you made them yet? can we see?

best.

Spent the last couple days canning tomatoes and hot peppers. Made 16 quarts of tomato sauce and 13 quarts of hot banana peppers.



And 5 pints of hot banana and serrano peppers cooked in oil.

Is that your secret to longevity, Roy?

What do you mean longevity. Roy is only twenty years old. He just looks older.

I'm just gonna do my thing till they plant me 6 foot under:) Ya can't do this in Heaven ya know, and it's too hot in hell:) LOL

Roy, I 'spect it'll be hot in heaven once you get there!    

Ya Red, ifin they let me through the gate:) LOL

Finished up two bows... The one on the right is lefty 62" R/D using the Bingham template and the one on the right is 58" r/d using Kenny's template design. Both bows are 50@28".

The left handed bow (on the right) is all black locast -core wood veneers and riser.

Built me a Redneck lam grinder out of an old bench top belt sander:)

Started another bow yesterday, got her glued up tonight. 65 tip to tip, 1/4" thick rift sawn Osage belly, 1/8th thick 1/4 sawn Walnut core lam, boo backed, Cocobolo riser.

That's going to make a sweet looking bow.

Here is your Daughters bow, Robbie. Denny and I glued her up last night.

I guess it's okay...

Used that new lam grinder yet?

No:)

Yesterday I was cleaning up a wood burner that Trapper Rob gave me for in my bow shop. Ya know what happens when a 5" wire wheel on an angle grinder catches a sharp edge and comes flying back at you? You get hurt..

DANG Roy... that had to smart!!!

OUCH! New rule for Roy's shop, no beer till worktime is OVER. Hope you heal up quick.

That's the trouble here, I hadn't even had a beer yet..  

Stingy!
I used to work in a fab shop Roy, we made lots of sheet metal cabinets and framework.
One of the guys was running the big 8" angle grinder to de-burr some steel. I had just walked away from his station when I heard a strange whimper/muffled scream. I turned around and Jimmy was standing there with a look of pain on his face, void of his shirt, that was wrapped up in the grinder that was still skipping across the floor, His torso looked much like your arm the next day. Looked like he took forty lashes

Heal up ole boy, hunting season is here. be careful.
