Gus:
Hello Bo,

I hear ya.

Pecan will definitely do you better than Pine, hands down.
From the advice that I've seen on PA along with TTBB and other sources, Pecan works well when you keep your limb width at least two inches from the fades out to about mid limb then start your taper out to half inch tips.

I'm in the process of tillering a Pecan Sapling bow that is a bit more narrow at about an inch and a half out to mid limb, tapering to a half inch at the tips. But I made this bow Long at about seventy three inches n-t-n. Its holding together so far, but we'll see.  ;)

Hi Gus
    im gonna start on my elm and i also have a mesquite board im
working out plans for lucky for me my dad mills his own lumber and gets some good contacs on trees
so i can get pretty descent bow makings.  i would really like to get hold of some bois d'arc or as they call it elsewhere osage .     

Calendargirl:
The PA office is in Houston.. did you all know that?  It used to be right by you Gus just off of the Toll Way.
It has moved but isn't too far from that.  If you all get a shoot together you should let us know.   :D

Gus:
Yes Ma'am C.G..

I did know you were in town but not where abouts.   :)
It would be nice to do a bit of shooting once it cools off.


Bo,  it does sound like you have a good wood connection going on.
Still trying to do a bit of wood networking locally myself.

Would be happy to pass an Osage stave your way.
But be warned all of my unworked Osage staves were cut in the past three to four months.
