So how many bows did you finish this weekend?
It's a toss up on what I am going to do next maybe make up a reflex form and do a reflex or make up a pronounced take down form and do a TD.
But for now I am enjoying a day off

Kent, when you get a burr, do you just use a grinder? I was trying last night to make a burr with file. Do you file at 45degrees or even steeper like perpendiculuar to the edge of the metal?

Keep your head up. I broke about 8 to 10 bows getting the tillering thing down. Its not as easy as it looks. Youwill get it. This is why not everyone does it.

Rasping my heart out for 1 hour. Didn't put a dent in it.
Oh well, better than watching the boobtube I guess. One day I might get a bow.

I had this knot in the fades right above the handle.
I started digging at it, and it was a full fledged hole now. Not sure what I am going to do about this. Maybe fill with superglue and sawdust.

Since this is a self bow, and i see violated grain, I can only assume this would be the belly? I would not worry about it until you do some tillering. You might not need to fill much. But if you are close to having it floor tillered, you might fill it and just reduce it down with the belly.

Here is a good video on turning a burr. He does it a little different than I do. His will probably work better than my way.
