I feel just like a novice starting on an Osage self stick for the 1st time in almost 20 years.

I'm down to one growth ring and starting to take away any wood that isn't a part of my stick.

I had been working on it for a bit before thinking that I needed to chronicle my progress via pictures.

Here's how far I've gotten so far.

God bless,Mudd

I don't think so Dave... a pro laid it out for me...lol

Thanks for helping out an old man with bad eyes and a shaky hand.

God bless,Mudd

God bless,Mudd

Looks like progress in the right direction.

How cool is that way I am saying. Seems that I have heard that line somewhere before HMMM. Seriouly it looks to be a great bow in the making. You wood bow guys amaze me, I wish I had your patience and talent.

KellyG · February 28, 2012, 09:59:00 PM

looking good! I bet you are not a true novice you at least know what right looks like.

Mudd · February 29, 2012, 05:22:00 PM

I took a little of the dipsy and doodle out of it today.

God bless,Mudd

Glad to see you working on a nice piece of Osage there MUDD...You better hurry up and get that done if you're planning on using it in ALABAMA next weekend LOL!!! It's great to see that you're having fun and enjoying the nice weather outside.

I've run into some issues that will have to wait.

I'm putting this on hold until the MoBoJam where I know I can get expert help.

Somethings I can understand by reading but this is one area that I need more help than I can glean from the written word.

God bless,Mudd
