Today I bare shaft tuned 6 arrows, dyed, and sealed them.  I also skinned 2 bows with a timber rattler and coachwhip skins.  I cleaned up a piece of black locust fence rail that my grandpa put up 30 years ago.  I'm going to make a bow rack out of it.

And the highlight of the day was when I was cleaning up the mess from the skins I looked up and saw a bobcat slowly cross our road 40 yards away.

I wondered how the coachwhip would turn out.
Looks pretty darn cool.

There's nothing quite like a nice snake on the back of a bow. Gorgeous.
