Pat,
I don't think the skins are wide enough to split down the middle. I have plently of them so using three is no big deal as long as you guys don't mind a silk wrapping on the limbs at the joint in the skins. You will have to give me a tutorial on the rattan handle wrap.

Pat B:
I don't think a bit of serving will hurt the appearance. As a matter of fact, I like the look. I'll be happy to walk you through the rattan handle wrap. It is very simple...just like adding a serving to the center of a bow string. Let me know when you are ready for it and I'll send it along. It probably ought to be one of the last things done to the bow. I like to have some finish on the bow first then more finish over the handle wrap.   Pat

Pappy:
It isn't taking much set yet so I will cut it down to 65 n-n.I just don't want to mess this up.If
it was mine I wouldn't worrier about it or if was about any other kind of wood cause I could just replace it,but we don't have any of this in Tennessee.I will keep yall updated.I plan on finishing it
this week and weekend.

We'll all cross our fingers...there is a knot in one limb that we were worried about, Pappy has had to avoid when scrapping to make sure it doesn't hinge.

Dane, that would be great on the bow sock. Was worrying where I was go na put all them taters if we used the sack! ;D  You're okay for a yank, if you get captured when on a scouting mission behind our lines, just ask for Pappy and I...we'll share our meals with you. Had some great fried possum and turnip greens just last night! ;)

Dane:
Greg, my pleasure. You are okay for a reb, as well.

I would have suggested you just cook the potatoes, but you don't have to worry now. And thanks - I'd love to try the possum with you two. Do you saute it with olive oil and fine herbs? :) Us high-brow Yanks have high culinary expectations.
