Hey buddy, thought I would let you know that I may not get to cut that locust this weekend. Life and kids. But if it don't snow Monday I may try to then. Patrick
Little John:
Absolutely Patrick, take care of them kids. There is no great hurry here. If you come up with some thing you think will work for my needs PM me and I am sure we can work a good trade. Oh and I am an Eagle scout as well. Have a nice weekend. Kenneth

Well John:
To tell the Truth it looks like someting a cave man hacked out with stone tools......
That is not the fault of the stone tools or the hophornbeam sapling stave.
It is my fault.
Stone tools, used correctly, can produce a selfbow as nice as any made with modern tools.
Mine took a bit to much set as it was strung and shot while still somewhat green.
The draw weight increased quite a bit after it dried.
Someday I hope to re tiller it and maybe dress it up some more.
David
