Naaaah no hard feelings there at all.Forget it.Fair and square all the way I say.There sure are a lot of saints or passing it on type people on here.That's a beautiful bow you made there.Bet it shoots like a rocket too.Did you guys finally get some significant amount of rain there?We are still dry as a bone with little teasings on 2/10ths of an inch once a week.How many courses of sinew did you put on the bow?

Sorry I see you put three on there.How long did you leave it cure though?I've got a proposed 62" hedge with a bendy handle going here and am thinking about heating it into a R/D form.It will be 1 and 1/2" wide at the fades and am wondering how narrow I can make my arrow pass.

I cured it for three weeks in the air conditioned house.  No specific reason for that length o.f time.  I was just out on the road that long.  Momma called and said it had rained an inch and a half since last night and was still misting.  That's the first significant rain since late June and that wasn't much.  As far as the arrow pass, I don't go under an inch and thats only if the grain is right.  It seems like any narrower is asking for the limb to split in half.  I only had to crack three of them for that lesson to sink in.  I'm a slow learner some times. Thanks again for the kind words Ed!  I look forward to shooting with you again, Josh

Congratulations Josh. If I stay at this long enough and keep watching you guys performance I may learn something yet.  ;D   
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.
