This psat Saturday I had Duane Tufts, A contest winner from Michigan, in the shop to work on his bow blank. We spent the day talking about bows and making shavings, Duane got a taste of scraping and rasping, tillering and sanding. We had one limb that was a little troublsome, but we got the bow bending proper and shooting good. I wanted to post more photos but We got to busy making a bow and the pictures got left behind. Thats my fault, I will do better next time.
I hope everyone is enjoying the spring, Flowers are poking up and the birds and frogs are singing away. It is a great time of year to see and here the life that goes on around us. I LOVE IT!

We would like to congratulate the winners of our free bow blank give-a-way.
(1) Duane Tufts from Michigan. (2) Jon Williams from Kansas and (3) Chester Thompson from Texas.
We had so many entries that we decided to draw for three winners. So, after Church on Sunday I read the names off the computer and my wife Chris had the task of writing all the names down on papers and our daughter, Jessica pulled the names out of my hunting hat. Congratulations to the three winners!
I spent this past weekend with a fellow Bow maker and wood guy, Mike Pyeatt. We picked up about a dozen or so osage trees. It was a cold start, but we had no snow to deal with and it was a wonderful day all around. This osage will go well with all of the nice clean Hickory I picked up the week prior.
Thanks again to all who entered our contest.
