I wanted to include this pic of the handle, I soaked the leather after cutting to fit, then wrapped it with braided cord sucking it tight to the bow, got a nice form fit and it embossed the leather to, Bub

I've gotten a few OK deals from craigslist, but it seems around here tools are either junk or still very expensive. The few "deals" on craigslist disappear minutes after being posted!

I love the handle. I love the bow.  Very nice work!
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?
