Today I got to sit down and catch up with my friend the one and only Bigfoot Kirk. Talked trades, fishing, hunting, and of course bows. I even got two yew staves out of the visit. Looking forward for some fishing coming soon!

Yew staves are awesome and make great bows.

Looking forward to your builds.

Hopefully you are a patient person haha. With a 6 month old and a lack of knowledge. I’ll likely be crawling at the same rate my daughter is haha

Keep in mind something on those yew staves…They are not really staves. They are 10 years, and old small diameter, with a lot of pin knots and even some larger knots in these pieces…. They may not even make a decent bow….. but that smaller diameter one has a pretty clear section that could work out…

It will give you something to practice using your draw knives on though. Just be sure and leave that sap wood on the back of the stave after you remove the bark.

I’d actually start by reading that bowyers Bible collection I sent you. That will get ya off on the right track, or make you throw in the towel before getting started. Lol

Good seeing you again Wyatt. Let me know when those salmon get up the river in numbers and I’ll come visit you next time.    Kirk

Got a few pics of fall color this morning. We had a very wet summer and early fall and no rain at all for most of Sept. into Oct. With that much rain during the summer lots of our poplar and maple leaves got fungi spots and fell off early. Here are a few I took this morning...

off the front porch

...and my girls heading up the driveway after our walk.

 A week ago last Friday my back went out so I was laid up all week. I'm sure some of you guys are familiar with lower back problems. Getting old ain't for sissies!  :bigsmyl:

Very nice, Pat.

Broke my lower back 15 years ago so I understand the lower back issues that ole timers have.

I’m hobbling around kinda slow myself this morning after spending  a couple days on the coast fishing and crabbing. Lower back is giving me a hard time too.

Salmon Fishing was completely dead, but we brought home 22 big Dungeness crab. Some of these crabs measured over 10” wide weighing two pounds each.
Exceptionally nice  sized crab this trip.

Here is some fall color for you.  Kirk

Some good sized crabs and that lower back is too low.

I sure do miss living near the coast. My wife caught and cleaned so many blue crabs one summer we gave deviled crabs for Christmas presents.  :thumbsup:

I broke down and got a power stave splitter, mostly because I am physically too broke down to do it manually these days. :banghead:

I just have to figure out how to extend the bed
Ooo, who, who hangs free
