Chris I guess we will just let you off the hook on the javelina hunt. ;) Actually you need to send your name and address to Brian (koan) because he will be the one sending staves/bows to you when he is finished with them and it is your turn.
Brian I have never had a problem with staves I have recieved, USPS or FedEx. I have never mailed one out though. Justin
Pat B:
Brian, I've always had good luck with USPS. If it is over 68" it will cost more. Cut it to the ultimate bow length or slightly longer and it will fare better. Pat
Pat B:
I've got Justin's hickory stave cut to shape and the limbs reduced to about 3/4" thick. She's ready for some Hillbilly handiwork! And from me to Steve(Hillbilly) I have a white oak stave. It's well cured and was cut out of my front yard 4 years ago. Do a good job Hillbilly! We can now make arrangements to pass them on to you.
Dang! Am I getting cought up??? I had a busy day today and it was all productive and it all had to do with building bows. Someone pinch me. I think I'm dreamin'! Pat
Keenan:
Not fair Pat. My day wasn't quite as good. I was out in the shop cutting up some yew and the motor on my bandsaw quit. Its an older metal saw that I converted and has a srong moter and gearbox. I think it might be one of the external capacitors has just gone out. At least that what I am hoping. Worst case senario I'll just have to through on another motor that I have.
On a good note I was in the shop playing with wood. My yew stave to Justin is ready as well, and just got the email from Chris, so looks like we are on a roll. Keenan
Pat B:
Keenan, Don't you hate it when the technology we have come to depend on lets us down. At least when you work with stone tools and other natural materials the disappointments aren't as bad(I'm guessing here!). I guess its all relative. Pat
