Layed out a HBH board bow I had finished gluing up yesterday. I was hoping to cut it out but it looks like I need to keep the wife happy and take her skiing instead.

Started chasing a ring on a osage stave. It's the first osage stave I've ever touched. The rings are pretty tight. Now I know what all the talk's about. Lord, hope I get faster at it!

The silicone caulking arround the PVC fittings was dry on The homemade Cyclone I made yesterday. So I hooked it up and used it with my smaller 1 hp dust collector to sweep up the shop floor.. Fired it up, plugged up the hose and didn't hear any leaks, thought the galvanized lid was gonna implode....It picked up fine dust, shavings and pinkie sized pieces of scrap wood, most everything dropped into the can (1st stage), don't think a teaspoon of dust made it into the bag (2nd stage).

OK Robert, all the bragging in the world about your wizbang dust collector is just fine, but it means squat without some photo's and a quick how-to.
Keep the wind in your face and the sun at your back.

Tonight I took the tri lam out of the clamps, Oh My God what curves it has:)

 

Then glued on the east Indian Rosewood riser wood that Ralphie sent me, purty stuff.

 

 

Then put the 4th coat of Tung Oil on Pearly Boys BBO. Man is it ever sharp.

Worked on the sparky thing that goes bang, even made a short uTube video about my progress, it would be against the rules to post it.

One could type in my name on a Utube search and see the video.

Finished up 4 dozen arrows for the Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia's youth trailer and got several stave clamps ready to donate to area clubs for fundraisers.

I have been reading and reading, and trying to figure out what will be the best chain saw for me to get to cut some bow wood.  Man, the choices a man has to make...geeessshhhhh.
