What happened to al the selfbow makers on here?

[Linc]

I'm still working on the hairbrained penobscot that I posted a while back. Just doing a little here and there. To many other things going on.

[Ralph Renfro]

Most of my bow making occurs after hunting season. I have managed to finish a couple this fall. For the last week, we've been without power because of the ice storm. Been hunkered down with coleman lanterns and an infra red heater on a 20# propane bottle to try surviving. Then last night we were blessed with about a foot of snow on top of all the limbs that came down. I'll also be busy topping 16 trees around my yard. Dang, wish they were Bodark!!

[Mark Baker]

Hang in there Ralph!   Is your computer running on propane too!  Gotta get me one of them buddy.      

Seriously, I hope things get better soon for you guys in that area...nothing worse than being without power, at this time of year, for this long.

I just got a pignut hickory, it shoots great.  I remembered that feeling I got when i first saw a brochure of Hill longbows back when i was a kid in early 60s.

I recently finished my first (an osage flatbow), and have a stave of black locust in the works.

[George Tsoukalas]

Awesome bows, Mark and Mark. Mine are all twisted and stuff. Been huntin' and vacationing. Just almost finished a hickory bow. Jawge

What Walt said. Hunt in the fall, build bows in the winter. Unbacked yew 90% done, at the stage where I usually blow up a piece of yew - waiting for the quiet month of January.

Shaun,
Thanks for the recipe.  Good luck with the yew, are you using the billets you got from me at MoJam?
