Looking good Matt I hope both these sets bring what they should and people know how many folks put in a lot of work to make it happen.

Oops sorry I didn't see your post until just now. I didn't take any measurements except for when I first got it. This is all from memory, so bear with me. The bow is 66" tip to tip and 1.25" at the fades. The handle is about 1.75" thick. I will check and get a definite measure tonight.

So, Greg, the plot thickens. I guess that means Yankee bows are superior, and those pretty southern bows are really just nice wall hangers?

Matt, those measurements are good enough for my purposes. Thanks.

Dane, our reb bows do make good "wall hangers", but that's an awful waste of a good hunting bow in my opinion. What they're best suited for is providing "wall hangers" in the form of the antlered variety, not to mention freezers stuffed full of venison and other sort of meat baring critters! We just wanted some beautiful yank bows to hang on our walls for ornaments/trophies so we don't have to retire our hunting selfbows as quickly for that same purpose. ;D

Your turn... ;)

What can I say to top that, Greg?

This is secret stuff, so don't tell anyone, but yankees generally just go to the butcher section of the super market and get it all cut up and ready to cook, easy like. Therefore, we have lots more time to make very pretty bows. You have to be careful not to try hunting in aisle three, though - cops don't understand the art of stalking a pound of pork chops. Those things are really frisky, and if you step on a twig, you have to settle for ground round.

Excellant response Dane! I didn't want to be to rough on you...at least not until after you get that purty bow sock made and sent to us rebs! ;D 

So how did the Desert Fox's brother end up resting in your neck of the woods? POW?

Thanks, Gregg. Okay for a guy who has worked 33 days in a row with no time off.

I am not sure why he ended up in Greenfield, but he was a minister in town. The local historian told me about this quite a few years back, so the details are fuzzy as to why he settled in the US, let alone iin New England. Maybe he liked maple syrup? :) The other really famous dead guy was the man who surveyed the transcontinental railroad, and up and died of fever from a clipper ship trip, after dodging grizzly bears and hostile natives, on foot every step of the way. His name eludes me this second, though. Judah, something like that.

 Hey Jamie sounding great, we could work it however. It would probably be cheaper for me to send the points to you.  Am I doing all of them and if so how many total?  Seems like I remember something being said about splitting it up 3  and 3 or something like that. But we can make it work however.  Thanks   Keenan
