Post by: k-hat on February 28, 2015, 01:37:52 pm

out walking the property in our once a year big Texas snow, and stumbled across an old fence row with these fine specimens.... ;D    The landlord says she has stacks of these that i can have access to!! :o

Soon enuff outlaw, soon enuff! ;)

They are almost 60", which makes them hopefully prime length for some D-bows or short recurves without splicing.  I hate splicing. :P
