Best way to keep from going nuts...make a bow 8) and yours is a good one. We'll look at it again for BOM fun.

Wow I never thought of harvesting bow wood as a covert operation but we all do what we must. That made one great looking bow. Also I'd like to say thanks for your service from a grateful

Find a way to get that bow home when you return. It is now and will always be one of your life's treasures.
