Hi all,

I found a couple of vids that are very interesting. I hope these links work properly as I dunno how to embed correctly on the forum?

Thanks for those Links, interesting footage. No doubt a lot more skill on display than first meets the Eye. I'd shoot myslef in the Foot if I tried the verticle shooting technique.

Still have not odered a Thumbring Book, will do so soon. In the mean while I will read everything I find Online and watch Youtbe Video like this. I'll start making a Thumbring over the weekend. I have 2 pieces of Cow Horn that should serve the purpose nicely. Lazaridies Timber have an Ivory substitute, about $25 a Kilo. It's a fine grained plastic that works well for Pen Blanks, Skimshaw and the like so it may be worth a try also

No sign of my Grozer Bio Composite yet, Mail is a bit slow at the Moment delivery wise, wish it was Slow picking it up wise, Crikey were busy. If it does not turn up Tomorrow I will not have time to match up a set of Arrows to it and shoot the Bow some before Gympie
