You know I have all these parts. I'm so tempted to do this.

Making Bow Socks for Archery

My house has been full of projects. And here is why: http://greenmanarchery.blogspot.com/2010/10/hand-dyed-canvas-bow-socks-are-back.html

This batch of bow socks are the best Guy has ever made. He's even making some that are lined this time, for those that want the security of some extra padding for their bow.  So the dye pot has been bubbling, the sewing machines have been humming, and the iron has been keeping everything under control.

The autumn is beautiful in Southern CA. Now if only we could get out of the apt. and shoot some arrows.

Bowyer's Bench

Ever wish you could make your own bow for archery? Here is a bow bench my boyfriend just finished from some directions he found in an archery magazine. http://greenmanarchery.blogspot.com/2010/06/bow-bench-lives.html

You can make a bow without a bench, but you have so much more control with something that holds the stave while you shave the wood. If you poke around though his blog there are other photos of him making the bench.

More Arrows

Guy just finished two new sets of arrows and got them off in the mail. Another guy came by to get his 2 dozen arrows and ended up ordering 3 dozen more. Wow! There goes my social life. HAHA. It takes many hours to make a dozen arrows. Everything has to be done right and done 12 times over. The shape of the feathers, the trim on the shaft, the right tip, the right nock and so on. I've made a few dozen arrows myself and I find myself losing patience with it. So my hat is off to anyone that can make dozens of arrows.
