All right! The semester is over and I get down to the serious business of bushcrafting and posting about it here!

I started my long term project today, a red oak longbow. Tim has a stave cut and seasoned already so I started shaping it. I already have it down to the point where I need to start being careful about cutting into the bow. I spent the whole day on that, minus some time at lunch making fries on the fire.
Accomplishments and Observations:
1) Started longbow and finished much of 1st shaping stage
2) Made fries on the fire
Initial Reflections:
I am really enjoying the bow making process thus far. I will definitely be trying this again at home.
Current Reflections:
After working on lots of smaller project it was interesting to get started on a large and technically sophisticated project like a longbow.
