That is cool to whoop one out in twenty minutes. I was sittin on the riverbank and thought i'd try that cordage thing one eve - took me an hour to make bout three foot of it, and that's just the cord.

Cool bow, Bob. I would have never thought of sea grape for bow wood. You are definitely pushing the envelope with different and uncommon bow woods. ;)   Pat

me want see unstrung. UGH!
Deep is our blow, our wrath invincible,
we have no mercy, no homeland.
Our fortune is at the point of our swords,
our hearts may never give in.
Our war cry rings out, enchanting, to a land
that is breaking loose of its chains.
:;: Our defiance may not tire
until the people of Finland are free
