Gday
A mate of mine is looking for a strap for his guitar. He is a bowhunter (wheelies) so is looking for something with deer motifs. Dunno what his budget is but if any of you leatherworkers out there is interested I could pass on details.
Cheers

Cheers Bob! Let the record show I kept up my batting average on this property for spraining my ankle in concealed wombat holes and set a personal best by going face first into a creek. Which is partially spring and snow fed and I was 75% into the game by then, panting like a politician in a room ful...

An evening with mates and a nice walk.
No photos of the hunt - just a tale. I went up to a property I get occasional access to. It gets a fair bit of rifle hunting from the owners. That's cool. Anyhow Saturday night was a bit of a rendezvous and we had a hoot around the fire - having a couple of beers, talking b*llocks and just enjoying ...

Re: grips on recurves?
There is a product, and I am not making this up, that some musicians use to help them hold their plectrum when fingers get sweaty.
It is called 'Gorilla Snot'.

Re: did bowyers find the bowyers bible useful?
I have all 4 and while there is some stuff in there that doesnt float my boat it would appear to do that for others - so it is all good one way or the other. The chapters on solving problems are great - as is the takedowns chapter and laminated bows.

That's a great story John, and I don't even care for team sport! I hope more parents of kids that play sports teach them these kinds of ethics. It would make for improved games, and improved lives of those that carry such ethics into adult life. Your boy William sounds as game ,and wily, as Ned Kel...

Re: First go at making a bow
It seems okay to me. I say go for it. How long is it? Don't worry about being annoying for asking questions. It is how we learn. Every accomplished bowyer here once went through a stage of asking pesky questions of those that knew more. I don't know that I am accomplished but I've made a few and ST...

Re: osage knitting needles
Sure thing Jeff. Actually those needles are about 5mm which apparently does nicely for scarves and a tad shorter than standard ones.

osage knitting needles
Given that knitting is a traditional craft making the needles must qualify. As the weekend was busy with sport and the wife's birthday I didnt make progress on the two bows I have going - both takedowns. However I have bits of osage from off cuts and decided to make the missus something from the yal...

No worries Graham Bear in mind I was making osage dowels too - pretty hard timber. I found I had to take them down a fair way to get a good dowel cut. What I did do was cut the billets, then plane the edges, then run it through a large cutting hole first, then one slightly smaller and so on. You als...

I wouldn't put a sander near tip overlays. IMO a couple of rasps will do the job quickly and will be more precise with much less risk to the bow.
