These trades really make us all push the envelope just to make the best bow we can for our recipient but just like getting a good haircut, you have to know when and where to stop.

Yeah no kidding... Look what happened to Goose's head!

I'm with Pat on the early start, since I have limited access to osage most of my bows are white woods. I cut them in the spring, rough out a few bows close to floor tiller and let them dry. When October rolls around I store them in a closet beside my wood stove. I weigh each one and mark it once a week until it stops loosing weight, usually around Christmas This way I have plenty of options if the first attempts fail, like this year. I broke two before getting one that was a shooter....Dan

I have had one horn ready to glue up since I posted pics of the full draw before the belly glue up. I'm getting close to having the other lam ready and I just ordered some python skins to put on her. It will definitely be named "Dark Continent". I also plan to overlay the elk antler overlays with water buffalo horn.

Bona, can't wait to see photo's of your bow, she sounds like she is going to be a real looker.

Will hopefully get the tillering finished on mine over the weekend and then do the handle and finish work. Will hopefully be done by the middle of the week and in the mail thur or fri.

I'm gonna right your quote on a broken bow Pat and hang it in my shop :D

Everytime I screw one up I hear you in the back of my head telling me "you gotta know when to stop". The hardest lesson I have had to learn in this venture by far. I guess it's the perfectionist in me that cause me to tweek and push until I have pushed to far. LOL

KellyG · « **Reply #2089 on:** July 21, 2011, 06:24:00 PM »

I am tracking 11 bows in the mail just so yall know.

Fish I have you know that I won that fight with the weed eater no matter what my head looks like.

Hey Goose, a smart man once told me that you can't grow brains and hair on the same head. I think I got smarter when I cut my mullet off?

Swissbow · « **Reply #2092 on:** July 22, 2011, 12:58:00 PM »

Found a slip in the mail box this evening when I came home, that I have something waiting for me at the post office. Man I feel like a ten year old boy just before x-mas... d:-)
