[Ansteorra-archery] Just whittlin' away

[Sylvrfalcn at aol.com]

Hickory bow stave from www.rudderbows.com; thirty bucks plus shipping

Homemade cabinet scraper, ground from a rusty old file from the flea market; 
fifty cents

White poplar board from Lowe's hardware to make a tillering jig; two and a 
half bucks

Crafting yet another beautiful long bow with my own two hands; PRICELESS

Become your own bowyer, and when people say, "that bow shoots like it was 
made for you", just nod and give 'em your best smile. A word of caution though, 
you'll learn to love the smell of fresh wood shavings, heaped on the floor all 
around you. I daresay I've become rather addicted to it ;-)

Cheers,
Robert of Yorkshire
