LMAO...

yunno...they have those woodgrain pattern tools that work with gell stains and such.

not sure if gell stains work well with glass.

aniline dyes and methanol work pretty well though...

Don't be too worried Bob, there have been some cuts at Canada Post. It's a fair distance to row you know!

Just finished a 4.5 mile hike starting at 6000' and finishing at 7600'.  I'm beat!  Will be doing more weight work and uphill walking to get ready for September.

So, last night DU2 asked if we could get her new bow cut out. Yes, the one we glued up back in March.   :dunno:

We ground the boogers off all five bows I had glued up and then she helped me layout each of the bows. It was much faster with a second set of hands.

 

We didn't have much time before bed last night, so the cutting process will have to happen tonight.

I am getting the props together to shoot a Gizmo video when my son comes for a visit next week.

I floor tillered a bow blank I made of mismatched billets and found one limb was really good, strong wood and the other was like a noodle, mushy and weak. It will do for demonstrating floor tillering and using the gizmo on the long string.

I had my shoulder worked on 4 months ago, recovery hasn't been going well. I am shooting a 38# bow and didn't have anything to move up to that would be a few pounds heavier.

I was digging in my failure bow pile and found a BBO that came out way under poundage and was a real poor performer. I had heat treated the limbs and put it back in the pile.

I strung it up to check it and found he heat treating had really gotten the tiller off. I retillered it and gave it a test run. Dang, it was now a rocket launcher, a #45 rocket launcher, just what I needed for my rehab.

Yep, heat treating works wonders on a wimpy bow.

I used some Turquoise to fill a hole in the back of a osage bow

So I thought I would try some tip nocks

Turquoise was corse so I pounded it with a hammer and got a mixture of corseness.

 

I made a form, rectangular hole and mixed smooth-on and the powder
I had a rectangular block of wood to push the mixture in the hole to push everything down.

So In the oven in the house 180*.

we will see what happens    :)    :jumper:
