What did you do today?

Come on in and sit a spell. There's a seat for you around the campfire.

The wood is Osage, or Hedge Apple, as folks around these hills call it. The large slab has been standing in my garage behind a freezer for many years, a friend gave it to me.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Osage is a favorite of mine. It will darken in the sun and when you replace the bear rest you will notice the wood under it is lighter in color. Definitely a pretty riser.
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

Well, I sure haven't done much with bows the last few weeks. Bought another truck, been working on it quite a bit, still some more work to do but its mostly cosmetic. I have made some time to fish and find a few morels with my son. Managed to rough out a few bows, probably have 8-10 sitting around in the garage and my stave storage shelf I need to work on at some point. I have 2 green hickory staves clamped to a board in one of our trucks which isn't driven much, but it hasn't gotten very hot yet.
