		<description><![CDATA[Partially successful. Made out of a 6' 1x4 maple board with a pyramid shape to the limbs and some scrap hickory glued on for the handle riser. I made the handle section slightly too long but it seems to be working well enough. The hickory adds a lot of necessary stiffening through the middle. Originally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Doh! Snapped as I was flexing it during tillering. So close. Should have backed it. At least I didn't spend a ton of time on it. And I did make a tillering stick last night so I can use that in future. I think I'll just work on an Irish stick for the rest of [...]]]></description>

Made 6 arrows in the morning before class, even managed to put a coat of tung oil on them, and even managed to put one together while I was at [...]]]></description>

Then I bought some poplar dowels and some duct tape in red and black at Lowes. When I got home I picked out one of the dowels and tried to straighten it. I [...]]]></description>

I'll know better what to do for the next one. Used my palm sander on it this morning with progressive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tillering - bending the arms of the bow and checking for weak spots and overall symmetry. Use a string with small pouches on the ends to tension the bow before nocks have been cut. Use a tillering stick clamped to a bench to gradually pull the limbs. The stick has a channel/platform on one end [...]]]></description>

I think there might be a couple others inspired to make one. We'll see. Saved my back in a big way I think. As far as the bow making itself, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Next weekend I start taking an introduction to old English longbow making. I had a free day last week and decided to cobble together a simple, semi portable shaving horse. It's essentially a manually controlled clamp to hold materials while you use a spokeshave tool.  The project could have been done more quickly and neatly [...]]]></description>
