nothing worth taking photos of, but I am working on two new forms I'll post photos once I make the first bow from the new form.

Give me couple more weeks and I should get one goin. (Deer season ends)Actually, I've already got one goin. The wife’s bow has been on the form waitin on glue up for a month or two.

I have yet to turn an arrow loose on a deer this year. But that’s ok, family members are pickin up my slack. Would love to share some pics and stories, but their bows have more than one string.

Just finished up this bow for friend. Missed poundage my first try so he got two sets of limbs. Started a bow for my states bowhunting banquet but had to scrap it. Worst limb twist I've ever had. Still haven't figured out the cause.

Just crickets here too Kenny. I started re- vamping my shop and I haven’t finished yet, so bows are on hold for now.

I wish I had something interesting to add to the conversation. I have so many projects in the works, I have had no time for Bow making.  :banghead:

I check in almost daily but by the time I sit down and start reading my brain is to tired! I need to start posting more.
