2024 What did you do today

[Pat B]

On the belly, blackening is not a problem. I usually roast them to a nice chocolate brown color. I use a heat gun for this and other heat corrections.

Total eclipse here today for almost 4 mins. Temp dropped several degrees.

What do you think? 56 in. @28

Limbs look like they are bending well, but i'm not fond of the patina colored riser.... You definitely have some wild color combos going Mike.   It's hard to beat that limb design. looks familiar.

Bow looks fine, but you need to change that drum and have some flowers on the wall

Future Bows??

Keep the rain off it

Is that Osage?

Yes all Osage - some better than others.  I was hoping, keeping them under the eave would suffice, but I may need to look at another option. I just really don't have space inside for it.  Maybe my brother-in-law will let me store it in his big farm machine shed? Not very convenient, but its not like I'll be utilizing it daily??

[Buemaker]

Nice, I am a bit envious.

Good idea

And... Direct sunlight should be avoided. i'd throw a tarp over it and some rocks on top, and keep it open on the ends.

Yesterday morning there was a serious frost on the coast, but today it’s 72 degrees and sunny…. Last year we had 3” snow on April 23rd.     Ya just never know.

Not a bow...but for a bow...

Jatoba / Wenge almost ready to spray…. ive never had this happen but when i braced these limbs and drew them a couple times i noticed before ….. shoving the sliver into my hand that a piece of glass about 3/4” long x just a needle lifted on an edge , ive always sanded those edges well before drawing  anyways  ca. it down and sanded hope it stays, that Jatoba is hard stuff!

I hit this riser with ferris nitrate and blushed it.  Wet it out to see how it's going to look.  Not sure I like it but going to stay with it.
