Where I live in Thailand if things are taking too long normally that means someone is asking for some money under the table  ;D.  Who should I pay to select my bowyer :laugh: :laugh:

Cleaned up my Inside Stave Cache last night.
Have some real nice Yeller Staves picked out to choose from.
Also have a couple Pecan Staves that are very pretty...
And a couple other species as well...

All ready to start laying out a Bow.   :)

Go for it!  I'm sure she won't mind, I mean after all a good wife is supportive of her hubby's hobby ;)  (don't tell her i said that, y'all live too close :-X)

It was an old coffee table my wife was gonna get rid of.  It weighs about 80# and i needed a work table, so there ya go.  Works fairly well for me anyhow till i can get a proper setup. :)

Marie informed me it will be a few days yet. She wants 100% accuracy, as do all of us.

I have a multitude of staves leaning against the wall with bows screaming, "Let me out!".....

I got a few prospects ready to tiller as soon as I get my name.  Short to tall they are hackberry, Minnesota Osage(red elm), black walnut, and erc with a bit of character.  I also chased rings on a couple Osage staves just for a backup plan.  I'm pretty well set on go.  Josh

Josh, be sure to wear safety glasses, a hard hat and an athletic cup while tillering that ERC stave!  ;)
