got a good start on the stave that gstoneberg gave me, got it reduced down far enough to start taking the prop twist out, soon as I can find a little time, thank's for looking and thank's again George, Bub

nice stave gonna be a great looking bow when its done. if that twist doesnt affect the tiller or the shooting i tend to leave it alone, its gonna be nice for sure.
