 Thanks Jimmy .I'm giving that one to dad. Its real nice but about 10lbs lighter than I want for myself. I'm still shooten that "Skeeter bite" bow I got from you last year.
 Yeah we'll be there by noon Friday. I'm bringing Dad, One eye Bill , Copperhead Mike, his boy Johnny  and some of the Pleasant valley gang with me.  I'm trying to finish one right now that I have been tag teaming on the build with Ole one eye Bill . I had hoped to knock one out for me before Ojam but he came to me and said that he wanted my help on making one and of course I said yes. I just don't have time to do two at once and since it was a nice stave I am making sure that I supervise him every step of the way so that it does'nt go to waste. He does'nt see too well and has a hard time working too long sometimes so I figure I let him work on it some and then when he is gone I tidy things up and move it along to the next stage. If it was anybody else I would expect them to pull their weight but he's an exception and we need to get it done before end of next week so he can carry that one.
  I probabely need to call you.   Danny

That's a nice looking bow. I love the color theme with the wood and the snake skin, and those nocks are mighty nice looking - so sleek and elegant.

Thanks Pappy, Marc, Matt and crooked arrow. your guy approval fuels my desire to progress into more refinment at every level of the build and finish. 

Marc   I wrestled this tiller and it frustrrated me more than once so I'm glad trained eyes like yourself and others confirm I succeded. It seems I am a bit critical of my work at times, but I guess thats what keeps me from settling for less than my best effort.

Pappy I hope I can come to the classic sometime. We have family in Nashville so maybe I finagle a visit for my wife around the dates of the classic and come see you guys. I'll float that idea and see what happens. You've got going on there  at Twin oaks what I would like to see happen here in Southern Kansas.
