Took the bark off another cherry stave. Still need to clean it up a bit but no grub holes or ring violations. Very happy about that. had that problem with a bunch of the staves from this tree. Also got some more work on bow 1 and bow 2 for the trade.

I had to work - no bow building till the weekend. :(
I like the new job, but starting at 9:30 am and finishing at 6:00, or 7:00, or whatever doesn't leave much play time. Hopefully they'll start an afternoon shift soon and get the day shift onto an early start.
Dave.

I hear ya carver. I work 7a-7p....really doesn't leave much bow building time.

Of course the up side is I only work 14 days a month.

I too worked all day today, so I was only able to stare lovingly at my bow-in-progress when I got home

Especially with a backpack full of fuel!

Installed a new grip & stared at a few possible projects. I have a bbi blank I'm thinking of finishing & a hackberry stave layed out, just haven't decided on which one to go with. Leaning towards the bbi. Probably try to do it like a hill bow.

SportHunter · March 21, 2012, 10:27:00 AM

Going with the bbi blank for next project. Not sure if these pics are too big, trying upload with the iPad.

coaster500 · March 21, 2012, 10:53:00 PM

It was a productive day.... I put a grip and some finishing touches on an ERC Elb... Took a Vine Maple to the string for my buddys daughter... and did the same on an Osage for me... Yep this one is mine

fujimo · March 22, 2012, 12:07:00 AM

Osagetree · March 22, 2012, 05:32:00 AM

Coaster500 has got skill's!

red hill · March 22, 2012, 09:45:00 PM

Today I destroyed my trade bow. Wasn't planning on doing that, but things happen.

SportHunter · March 22, 2012, 09:56:00 PM

Sorry to hear that Red, good luck on the next one.

DVSHUNTER · March 22, 2012, 09:59:00 PM

Star, spit happens man. Sorry for your loss!

Good looking starts there kip.

I watched Gary Davis' video for the first time. Great video! I'm helping a guy with his first selfbow and he brought it by for me to see. I sent him home with a few back issues of primitive archer to.author fuel the addiction.

he was able to "see" the wood when he left here last night. I'll probably work all Sunday afternoon again and see what he can get done. I worked on finishing a few bows in between explaining.

coaster500 · March 23, 2012, 09:36:00 AM

Thank you, building that ELB was an eye opener....

to you ELB builders... it is a really tough design for me. It needs to be to perfect!!!

That's to bad Red... good news is you still have pleny of time to build another

David I've watched Gary's DVD many times and it is a great one in it's simplicity!!!
