Yazoo, I think I met your Dad at the Pre Spring Arrow Fling at Tannehill. Got a nice thin ringed Osage blank, and that fat piece of Mullberry. I'll get two out of the Mullberry, and already chased a ring on one of the splits. Good stuff.

I can see how swinging a sledge all day smacking wedges could dampen a man's enthusiasm.

Mike, I can't wait to see what you have at the classic, I'm looking for a stave or two, I know you always have a great selection of wood so I'm sure you can set me up.
