Agbowyer:
Brian, if you can get six foot sagebrush, I'm willing to try it. Draw weight and length will probably be pretty low. Justin, everything is bigger ix Tx.....where it matters..... Chris
Hillbilly:
OK, heres the delinquent vine maple. It's knotty, dog-legged, and has about 3 or 4 inches of natural reflex. Thought y'all might get a kick out of messing with it, but it'll probably require some torture by heat. I guess Eddie and Pappy will be the ones doing most of the dirty work in the early formative stages, so tell me what you think. It should be green-broke and have most of the ee-vill cast out of it by the time it gets on down the line. I also have straight, well-behaved wood if you would prefer that.

I've never worked vine maple, but that doesn't look too bad.

Another sneak preview...of Justin's hickory bow...stave! Getting the heat treatment. If you will notice under the stove I have Community Bow arrows curing. And of course, Sister in one of her favorite places. Pat
