As expected, yesterday’s stick broke…
So I started two more today! 🤓
A few hours of work later and I have two bows roughed out and bent.
A good work day was had ☺️

Today, after removing the boss from my personal workspace, I did more camber work on a new bow! ☺️
This stick has a rough spot behind the head that could have broken at any point in this process today, and yet…it didn’t…though I fully expected it to…
I will have to do more work on it tomorrow…😬…

I did some camber work today, but only after Shop Cat Paloma scrutinized my every move 😼

Some things I have been up to while not posting 😬…
I made this faceplate/tip-plate out of boxwood!
Then I put a curve into it by gently bending the faceplate over the heated file until it matched the curve on the head of the stick. 🤓

Guess what?! I’m still here! 😜
After a serious injury back in the spring that took me out, I had to make a choice: Push through or step back and get better. I chose the latter.
Many months later, I am slowly working my way back into making.
So for today, I am outside in lovely weather while tweaking camber on a violin bow.
Who says our work can’t travel? 😉
As for finishing these 100 Days…It might take me a couple of weeks, but I am determined to finish what I started.
Cheers to living life one day at a time! 🍻
