Looking real good Roy, nice product placement on the coors light, but don't expect any of that watery beer when you come up my way to do your "thumpin".

You mean to tell me that I'm off a day again? Man this getting old stuff is hard to get used to

We have logs on our inside walls, company coming this week for 4 days to hunt, so ya know how women are, we gotta wash the entire house walls.

You'll be ok, Keenan:)

Had to stop by and follow this. I have a yew stave in "the works". Just hard finding time to work on it. I appreciate you putting up the pics on reflexing the limbs. Looking goooood!

Does washing the entire house walls have something to do with the effects of the sausages????

Long day here. I have her pulled to 21 inches @ 45 pounds. The pull rope is coming straight down the line, it pretty much did that from the start. Been going slow and tweaking her down the tree. This picture is early on, had to work a little on the right limb.



Pulled to 15 inches in the picture below. I took the pictures from an angle so the limbs don't look equal, but they are.



I had her strung at least 6 hours today, here below is a half hour after unstrung.



Chris and another guy were also working on bows and we were so into it I forgot to take anymore pictures of the Yew Bow. But it is looking just great. I have about 6 more inches to go for my draw length. I need to drop about another 12 pounds yet, I want 45 @ 27.
