My first attempt just went kaput. Snapped, danged near broke my right index finger...now I have some kindling for tomorrow nights fire. Right before it snapped, I saw where I needed to rasp out some wood.
I now have enough experience where every tree I see looks like a potential bow.
This one was a red oak board bow and my primer for getting into this great hobby. I am not defeated, I learned several valuable lessons in the blink of an eye. But my doggoned finger still hurts.....Tomorrow board bow #2 is gonna be glued up with riser...and then start shaving!
I haven't been that scared ( when the bow snapped) since my head on collision with a Chevy truck.
I could hear Ralphie saying, "Oh my god, I shot my eye out!
Well, lesson learned, no splinters in my face or right hand. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
