Nah. Just wintertime and lack of good indoor space for activities. Probably not terrible to have the staves cure another season though.

A bow.

Think I found my stave to make the next #TradBow #bowstr
You can see the straightness and lack of knots. Just have to take it down more to check for splits.
Also probably need to side quest to make a shaving horse for use with the draw knife.

"Huh?"

The part of the bow facing the target is the "back" of the bow. The other side facing the archer is the "belly".
Glad I finally started. It's perfect weather to start too. https://image.nostr.build/b9b9b7b2f657c3d7f6bad0bb18318699e14d1e2beec31bcb56c4139cd2c1143b.jpg
Hatchet needs a sharpening. Would be a good hobby to add. https://image.nostr.build/b57223901e09af5c0fa83951f50999a489017a0563f2acf324834c38ee7d4389.jpg
Shortcut! Can split off small chunks to get to bow stave size faster. Just be careful you don't split too close to the belly. https://image.nostr.build/081b7aac3d3941e42ad4fdf21358eac7127150990644baced14324b6805ccb4b.jpg
Forgot the word "belly" hear. But good outline of general goal for next step.

Draw knife and file set inbound from a friend. Need to research making a shaving horse and maybe make a crude one.
Hatchet, draw knife, farriers rasp is the most basic tool set for shaping a bow.

Nah. Northern Shenandoah.

#tradbow making might be a little painful at first. I definitely need to improve my splitting technique.

White oak was a pain to split but should make a good bow.

Turning wood into awesome. Maybe.

Use hickory for your first #tradbow
The interlocking fibres of the wood make it very forgiving during the bow crafting process.
