hillbilly, that's very kind of you.  something that doesn't grow in germany would be cool, like HHB, osage, vine maple, whatever you guys come up with (just not too snaky. with only 4 bows that lived and one casualty  

  my experience is limited)  also, if you could rough it out, it would be great, since i won't have a lot of tools with me, nor time, to finish it for the tournament  

this forum never ceases to amaze me.  you guys are the best.
