What did you do today, 2016

Went to a local bow shoot today, got to shoot the new walnut burl veneer limbs and zebrawood riser/black limb longbow I finished last week, both in the middle  of picture.

I hope you remembered the evil laugh when you got done.

Took a 7 mile hike around some new area on land that I hunt. Found some awesome hunting ground and places to keep an eye on during the upcoming year.

Found a nice shed too....

Got started on the a lam grinder.  Was planning on going to HD this morning for materials but I went for a stroll last night and discovered a neighbor was tossing out some material perfectly suited to the project.  A courtesy knock confirmed that I was welcome to take it away!

Pic's to follow.

Progress so far.  More today if the weather holds up in the "shop".

[monterey]

Dang, it was there   :confused:  

Maybe it needs resizing.

[monterey]

Strange, it shows on my desk top but not on the phone.

Heres another try.

 

[Roy from Pa]

Hain't no wonder yer bows are always crooked, look at that yard stick..  

[BenBow]

Roy he uses that on snaky bows LOL

[monterey]

Well, Roy, you've been begging to see my Rigid, so there you go    

Ben, that there is funny.

Of course my yardstick is rough.  It only gets used in the yard.

Wind is gusting to 50 MPH in the "shop" today.... Guess I'll do my nails

Went to the arrow shaft warehouse and got me some arras.

 

 

[Robertfishes]

after work I fixed some scratches on a friends bow..then I spray finished a longbow, its a hand rubbed extra glossy finish, so I slowed my gun stroke  and..got two runs to sand out tomorrow morning..ya I hate glossy finish.

[monterey]

Gee thanks, Roy.  I picked this one.  It's called "Wife Goes On"

 

Wish I had an arrow warehouse like that in my neigborhood.

[Roy from Pa]

Very nice, David...

[Krasus]

Kinda spooky how Roy knew exactly what to recommend for your nails...lol

I got my tip overlays on and shaped and my overlay on my riser done  (bow swap bow)  hopefully get a string on it tommorow and check poundage

[monterey]

I look forward to Roy's full recovery.  He needs to be kept busy.  Maybe we should caucus and select a delegation to appeal to his wife to reign him in.

Worked a little bit today on my Eastern Woodland style selfbow, put the short string on it and put it so it was braced tight against the bow and am tillering it further, one limb is stiffer than the  other with the other limb at perfect tiller within itself (so far).

Gonna get the other limb bending perfectly at this shorter brace, then brace it up further. Right now she's 50# @ 17" on the low brace. And tiller is looking good. Can't wait to get 'er finished up!
