What did you do today?

[Osagetree]

Eric, Sounds like you enjoyed it too!    
Bet he'll dream about that visit for years to come.

Kelly, pizza pan? That's okay. I used an old truck leaf spring for some of my forms.  :D

[H8nonCubs]

Yup im with dave, that american flag is just a front. May have to get kelly to do a background check and make sure roys not on the no-fly list

[KellyG]

Eric that is great.

I got the other tip bent and cooling as we speak.

[KellyG]

Joe,
I bet that makes a great form the leaf springs.

[Mike Mecredy]

Today, I took two bows outta the forms, glued up 3 more, I had to stop work for 2 hours so I could be available for the USP guy, he was delivering me an engine for my wife's Saturn.  Answered a bunch of e-mails.

[DVSHUNTER]

How many email do you answer a week Mike? I have trouble answering my phone!

[Mike Mecredy]

50 - 100 I guess.

[SportHunter]

Packed up my trade bow today, may get it to the post office as well.

[jtbluefeather871]

I got five beautiful bows in the mail today... Well the potential for five beautiful bows.  Lams, glass and risers from Kenny, and a couple sets of boo and ipe from tenbrook.  Thanks you two! Guess I'll be spending some time in the shop for awhile!

[Robertfishes]

[Dan Landis]

Eric, with a mentor like you, he'll be building and shooting with the best of them.  Sure don't find many young men that age that show that much respect....Dan

[DVSHUNTER]

I try not to eat anything that looks the same the next time I see it, but that does look good.    

Pretty cool Eric.  Keep us posted on his progress.

[Pete W]

I went to town on a stave I split out of a large Osage stave I had. It turned out to be narrow limbed, 7/8" wide 61" NtN and 55 at 27". I will shoot it tomorow afternoon and do some final adjustments to the tiller afterwards, then slap on some urethane.

[Dmaxshawn]

Spent too much money and time looking around at the woodcrafters store.   But I did get some really neat tip material for my bow swap bow.   Bought some more clamps.   (cant seem to ever have enough)   went back and forth on a beautiful piece of olive wood. Decided I didnt need it.  

Called and left message with KennyM I'm wanting some tulip veneers.

[Roy from Pa]

Had a fun day today. Had surgery on a tooth that's been giving me problems ever since the root canal 3 weeks ago. Turns out the end of the root was cracked, Dentist said that was the cause of all the pain. Been a long time without beer, gotta wait another few days though....

[k-hat]

Ouch Roy.  I've had the root canal and that's enough on it's own, sorry for your pain. Hope this op fixed it!


I went to town today on my to-do list.  

*cut, split, and partially shaped a chunk of hackberry into rough handle shape (hoping to replace my sledgehammer handle that went to pieces)

*went to an OOOOLLLDDD fencepost i found in the neighborhood last year to cut an end off and see what it was, thought maybe i could use it for a spatula handle for the wife:

 
here's what i found . . .


Well now, I guess y'all know what's in my future now!!  I think i've got a pair of narrow billets somewhere in there i can splice together for a 60" bow!!!   :D    :D    :D    :D    

As for the rest of the to-do list . . . .

[Eric Krewson]

I got in a cooking mood. I cooked fried deer liver in an onion-mushroom gravy, Kentucky Wonder pole beans out of the garden(canned), Golden Queen corn out of the garden, vacuum sealed from last year, collard greens fresh out of the garden and wild rice from the store.

This type of meal is what I call "real food", nothing like can be found at any restaurant at any price.

I should have taken a picture.

[k-hat]

Man Eric, all your missin is the buttermilk cornbread!       You're makin me hungry . . .

[Dan Landis]

Roy, I feel for ya on both accounts, the tooth and the beer.....Dan

[LESKEN2011]

Sounds really good, Eric. Next time I'm in Al. I'll have to come by and let you cook up some of that good stuff. By the way, I have 2 bows almost to tillering stage and will get to try out the gizmo you gave me at Tannehill. Thanks again!!
