Well this dummy done waded in too deep to turn back now, mounting hardware installed already. And it’s beginning to look like a bow!

 So why not test drive it? Last thing I did tonight was fling some arrows with it.

That don't look like Walnut. Cant you intdentify wood by smell? Close your eyes next time you are cutting some on the tablesaw, it will heighten your olfactory senses.

And trim your fingernails.  :)

Re-mounted the quiver to my man-bow.
Did not shoot it a lot in the past months, because i was testing the 60" Hybrids all the time.
Still a great Shooter.

So I have been doing a lot of cleaning and purging in my shop this spring and I keep finding more of these wax cakes.


Have some Bee keeper friends and they give me one every year. These are the dregs, bottom of the pot and apparently not very desirable. But it is exactly what I want because it has all the good stuff in it that is filtered out of the pretty salable wax. Specifically Propolis. If you don't know what Propolis is, check this out;     
https://www.beeculture.com/propolis/

I melt and mix it with mineral oil for string wax, Neatsfoot oil for footwear and a variety of oils for chapped skin.

I currently have many more pounds of this than I will use in my lifetime and thought I would offer some up to whoever might want some. There is on caveat though, I am on a fixed income these days and too cheap to spring for the shipping. So if you are willing to send a 6X2.5" piece of green paper with a picture of Abe on it, I will send you a 6-8oz chunk of dark, dirty beeswax. Just know that you can probably get it much cheaper locally. But unless you know somebody, you might have a hard time finding this wonderful, nasty unfiltered stuff. If thats you, send me a PM and I will hook you up.

I think Beekeepers are glad to have someone to take the dregs. Probably kills them to waste it.
 Max, do you have Bee's?

Melt them into 1# blocks and offer them on the St Jude Auction here, the listing has just opened. You could have the winner send you the shipping costs. I mailed a 1# package ( M/L round ball mold) yesterday, priority mail was $8.46, they don't do first class much anymore as it is often the same as priority. You get free boxes for priority as well, a flat rate box would be good for multiple pounds to one person.

If you do this be forewarned, CONUS only, nothing to Canada. I donated some books to the auction, the winners were in Canada, the books brought $30, seems like shipping to Canada was $45 out of my pocket, no media rate up there.
