1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people - except I expect most people have already done this at least once.
Work the stave down slowly to arrive at the final draw weight. This is done to teach the stave to bend properly. Be aware of the taper of the grain as you shape the belly. The grain should always point towards the bow tip.
The Traditional Bowyers Bible, Vol. 1 - quite a technical read but Vol. 3 is a hoot.
In other news there are some things I don't understand:
Why are sleepovers called sleepovers when sleeping is the last thing anyone does?
Why do kids INSIST in iPods or MP3 players so they can listen to THEIR OWN music whenever they like and then INSIST on finding a means to play it loudly so everyone can hear it?
Why is there a brilliant purple gladioli flower spike in the middle of my vegetable patch?

In other news, I miss you and the rest of the MM people! A lot!! I find myself starting sentences either with 'My cat always does...' or 'My good friend Sally from Wales said...'
