Nice job on a tough looking piece of wood.  I really like the look of that bow.  How thick is the sapwood?

Awesome, Scott, sounds like a great adventure.  Angie is taken a turn for the better over last 4-5 days.  Less pain.  Still using the walker for awhile though.  I put a horn on it for her - I don't think I knew what I was asking for, now it's like living with a disabled clown. ;D  Anyway - things goin in right direction.
Don't have much for trade now - haven't been able to get out much, but I'll be working on it.  I'll look to see if you post anything over your trip - if not, may the force be with you. ;)
