I started making the first of many tillering gizmos to put on the St Jude auction.

Nice Eric.  I like your branding mark. 

Got some more live oak hauled out of the woods.  Can't believe how much easier the bark comes off this time of year.  I basically pulled it off in strips by hand.

I love pulling summer bark off especially on hickory I never tried live oak , I finally got around to opening the box of lams from Kenny for my 68 in. pig hunting bow, I love the old school Bear green glass this one will be walnut , bamboo lams & glass footed mozabique & osage riser !

I like that combo Ritchie.  The Black should look good against the walnut.

Ben that's actually the dark green like the old Bear bows had on them it's hard to see in the pic , Mike with the constriction season in full bloom I only have a couple hours here and there but hope to have it done by fall not going to Texas/ok area pig hunting tell next year so have time yet , but this is the first year in the last 3 that I have all my hunting bows done early so will have time to work on that one !

I am not gluing all those together... Here is a link to what I plan on doing...  My accent will be a lot thinner though...

A fang accent, or if the bow comes in with a strong top limb, ......a tusk. :biglaugh:
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Yeah that is the only thing I don't like about this accent...  I prefer the thin part up top but I like to go with the natural tiller of the bow after it is glued up...  Oh well you can't have everything...  :)

Well we have a delivery driver on vacation this week so I had the Privilege of delivering this week. While working today I had my phone in a side pocket and apparently butt dialed a customer of mine twice, my wife once, my son several times and last but not least I face timed KennyM of all people! Haha!

I pulled a trail cam near our past garden area after it was there a month or so.  Look who had visited...

LOL, my first time face timing!!  Wasn't sure when it rang, and my face was on the screen.  Then Dannon popped up and asked who I was!!!
Stay sharp, Kenny.
