Hey Drew,
I'm also a newbie form Michigan building my first bow right now. I've got a 4 month old son and a 4 year old daughter so I feel your pain about the lack of shop time. What area of Michigan are you in?

Thanks guys! I'm from the Mint City...St. Johns. 

Dana, I'm the "da Yoope's token troll eh"  a title that was given to by the folks I have to visit up there for my job.  I make it to every county up there several times a year! In fact I was just in L'Anse a few weeks ago.  I'd gladly swing by with some PBR's and talk some bows!

Jawge, I hear ya...I'm just using him as an excuse till i find a good beginner stave to start a bow with.

Drew, while you are looking for a nice log stave why not try a board stave. Red oak is good. Check my site. jawge
