Most of the bull you get from me is followed by another word

Went on my first bonafide rabbit hunt today. My friend's beagle was struggling but pushed 3 to us pretty early on. Finally connected on the third. Then we walked and did some brush kicking and managed to kick up a few more. Came home with 4, so it was a good day.

Than craw pee must be right

 

Whats "new like"? Some kind of fishing mojo?

  Ahh! Typo, took me awhile to figure that one out. All the regional lingo slinging got me discombobulated

Fixed it thanks!

Today I got the Osage belly lams and cedar core lams prepped for a bow for ME:)

Found a few pieces of black ebony the other day too:)

Those lams look very clean.  I've been wanting to try cedar for a core.   

Cedar isn't a real strong wood but makes a nice bow.

You just need to make the belly lam a little thicker to compensate for the cedar.

I cut those lams out of a cedar stave I had laying around the shop.

Looks like it's time to change the tablecloth on the workbench:)

Shop sure smells good:)

Like those colors. What cha been smokin? 
Never used eastern red, sapwood is ok to use?

So Roy you cut most of your lams from staves?  What do you do if the split is curvy?
