Keenan:
Justin, That one is Chris's bow. Pats already worked on mine. LOL I know confusing isn't it. I should have Brian's bow headed your way by this weekend. Are ya winning the battle with that one Justin??? Boy this yeller stuff sure is some nice wood. LOL Keenan
mullet:
Sorry about not getting back to you Pappy.My DSL went out for a few days.Pappy, VM bends really good with heat.The twist and knots is the reason I left more than usual wood on it so you had plenty to work with tillering.I started to switch hillbilly's VM stave out with a straight one I had and tell him I was the miracle man.One thing about VM isIt is very hard and really difficult to get file and sandpaper marks out.
Pappy I think the hickory is a better way to go with Pat's bow or I could send you some bamboo.I quit tillering it at 21",I was afraid there would be nothing left at 27"
Justin Snyder:
Keenan, did you get the license plate from that Mac truck. Yea, I'm getting there. How long do you think I should wait after steaming, before I should use dry heat on it? It has been 80* and our humidity is so low I imagine it is dry already. Justin
Pat B:
I put Keenan's bow in the mail to Hillbilly today. What do I get next? Pat
Keenan:
Pat I think the next one you get is Chris's bow. It's another yew but shorter and a little character. Justin is shaping into a D/R. How about that, all you suthern bows are getting to play with the white woods and us northern folk are turning yeller.
Justin you should be fine by now for the dry heat and that should be out farther on the limbs anyway so I say go for it. Keenan
