a note in passing on the way to slumberland.

I shall have triumphal dreams: I just fired the first arrow from this Yumi.

There is plenty of final shaping remaining.
I must still install the bindings.
I have yet to apply the surface sealant.
I don't have a proper bowstring.

Nevertheless... I just finished up rouging out the nocks, and I couldn't resist temptation...

I took some cheap nylon string
I fought like hell (having only one good arm didn't help, but stringing this monster will be a bitch even with two) to string it
I took it outside
I nocked an arrow
I drew it as best I could
I loosed
...
...
...
holy $#!+

TRIUMPHAL dreams, I tell you.

Neat! I can't wait for the pics. (Or a copy of the accident report.)

Buenos Noches amigo

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
