 ;) Nice Matt!!!
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Hey fellas,
So, a long ways back I mentioned a possible old fence post bow to send out. That plan didn't happen, not sure what wood that post was, but looked like some kind of white wood, and good and rotten all the way through, so I didn't want to even try it. Plan B is a hickory bow, and it's coming right along. Will get a pic or 2 posted up when I get a little farther. It'll be finished up by end of next week for sure.

Alright, :D  now on the short string. Bending evenly with no apparent problems. Pulling smoothly 50@14 with a lot of wood left to remove. I'm figuring another couple days and then finish work between shoot ins.

Adding a special grip today then tru-oil finish. might make a different color string and get a foam pool noodle to protect her in the tube. I am happy with this bow, fun to shoot and look at. I should be shipping this weekend depending on pool noodle availability!
