Re: Dean Torges passes.
I remember an article years ago where Glen travelled over to USA staying with both Dean Torges and another bowyer whose name now escapes me.Another legend ceases to exist physically on this earth.

Re: FOR SALE x2 custom knives

Re: New takedown
Howdy Wayno!. Yeah this one is mostly target so gloss finish. Do a satin finish for hunting bows. sometimes the gloss finish looks like a neon light in the sun!.

Re: Sealing bulk lot of timber
any white wood glue for me.Leave wood/logs stacked on strips of thin wood so air can get between each piece of wood. Somewhere climate is moderate and not too humid/dry.

Realise that , kimall but for me its not worth the aggravation sometimes. I wouldn't be able to change some people's views no matter what, and if I did to what purpose, so live and let live I feel as I get older but no wiser.

Re: Arrow / Fletching is ther ever a need for cammed up arro
most animals see colour different to humans, hence the ability for hunters to wear blaze orange clothing as a safety issue. blue is one colour they do see clearly. I would not imagine solid colours on feathers would matter very much at all, providing they weren't a fluro colour.
