I'm not a very patient man, can't wait for a bandsaw.

I'm not one to wait for an easier way. One minute on a bandsaw or thirty with a dull hacksaw and elbow grease.

I found an older blade and gave Mark some with it so he wouldn't feel left out.

That was because the blade with a handle doesn't make curves well.

Ready for some overlays? Man that phenolic is some hard stuff, or maybe it's the blade.

Scratched up surfaces, cleaned, and grabbed the super glue.

I had three colors; black, white, and red. I'm glad Mark was there to choose, I would have chose black just because my last bow and his last bow was with White. But he said white..
