Got the stave Dana, What do we want to make out of it,length ,type bow,draw,weight.and what kind of wood did you say it was.It is a very clean stave ,need a lot of straightening but other than that it looks good.How old is it ? I should get something done to it in a few days. Another question,How much do yall want me to do to it and where dose it go next ? GregB will do the tip overlays if that's ok.

Thanks TJ. It's hard to tell now but I don't think so. I'd like to keep you on speed dial just in case though.

I finished the four arrows that I made from jap arrow bamboo shafts that Tom gave me. They have glue on nocks, three feather fletch of goose/wild turkey, polyurethane finish and I stained them with poke berrys. They are all between 520-540 grains.

Here are the stone points that everyone sent. I'll put these on sourwood shoots with self nocks, eastern two feather fletch, stain them with red clay and rub in deer fat for the finish. The top two points here are from Shannon, the third down from Dana and the bottom one from Wade.

some one that has.
