Just like riding a bicycle....not..!!!!
« on: February 27, 2012, 01:41:00 PM »
I feel just like a novice starting on an Osage self stick for the 1st time in almost 20 years.

I'm down to one growth ring and starting to take away any wood that isn't a part of my stick.

I had been working on it for a bit before thinking that I needed to chronicle my progress via pictures.

Here's how far I've gotten so far.

How cool is that way I am saying.  Seems that I have heard that line somewhere before HMMM.  Seriouly it looks to be a great bow in the making.  You wood bow guys amaze me, I wish I had your patience and talent.

I've run into some issues that will have to wait.

I'm putting this on hold until the MoBoJam where I know I can get expert help.

Somethings I can understand by reading but this is one area that I need more help than I can glean from the written word.

God bless,Mudd
