Heck of a job Micheal!  It's nice to see somebody actually admit that their bow has some hand shock...and that they don't care :o   I like a smooth shooting bow, but don't mind a little thump either. ;)
  The skins look great and it makes it nicer when you did'nt have to pay for them too 8)
 
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

Thanks Guys....I like it and am always looking for a good stave to make a Paddle Bow from too...and the one that Hillbilly gave Me for some of that Rock I brought...will be a fine Stave for another one....it has an almost flat Back so I won't have to De-crown it like I did this one....makes for a lot stronger Bow if you can leave the Back intact..Tiller is a bit different to do on a Paddle Bow...Patrick can back Me up on that one for sure...I think He and I are about Obsessed with Paddle Bows!!!

Mike i wasnt trying to make fun of the damaged knee,trust me on that
i was more talking about the skinniness of them legs and how white they are.you can hardly tell where the socks end and the leg begins
you live in an area that a whole lot sunnier year round than me,and your skin is whiter than mine lol ;D ;)
