I had hopes of working on my first bow while i was there but found out that it wasnt going to work out. I checked the shop out and with a setup like this you just got to find something to build..........

So I came up with the idea that I would build a small box for storing all my broadheads in......

Iv also wanted to learn how to hand cut dovetails, and that fit the bill for my project.

So with a warm fire we started in

I chose Tamerak for the body of the box with a Walnet top.
Heres what it looked like after I cut the tails and the tips with some of the tools used.

Then dry fited together

Looks like a wonderful trip with a picture book family. Those boys remind me of my 2 and 6 year olds. They're Tom & Jerry fans too!

Beautiful scenic pics by the way.
