Happy Anniversary Miss Joanie and Pappy. You guys give Marcia and I something to shoot for. We will be at 37 in March.

Thanks guys I will pass it along, Pat B 37 is way better than most this day in age.

Congrats on that.

Started on a Yew bow yesterday evening,got it debarked/laid out/cut out and some what floor tillered,almost ready for some form work. It is
64 t-t 1 1/2 at the fad to mid limb then tapered to 1/2 at the tips for now 4 inch handle 1 1/2 fads , the sap wood is 3/16
even and not violated at all from end to end. shooting for 50 @ 26 and that shouldn't be a problem. This is the cleanest/straightest/tightest growth ringed Yew I have ever seen. I got 2 stave's in a trade with Chuck when he first came to Tennessee and kind of feel bad about it, $:-\$ well not really

but one thing for sure in my mind I came out on the way better end of that deal. He wanted all the different woods in TN. that would make a bow and I hooked him up with most,he's happy and I'm happy so I guess that is all that matters.

Hope I don't make a mess out of this piece cause it is a very special piece of Yew for sure. The cool thing is the 2nd stave looks just as good if not better.

Sounds like a good trade.

Pictures Monday Greg,

and yes Eddie it was a very good trade more like a swap,I have made a couple of good trades/
swaps lately,that 's not that normal for me.

I think I do better when it's really not a trade,I was going to gift Kevin some moose antler while I was in ElmHall,MI. and he wouldn't here of it and gifted me a fine neck knife worth way way more than a piece of Moose antler,then I told Chuck I would hook him up with any white wood he needed/wanted that I had and he insisted on giving me some stave's,he even picked out the best 2 he had.

Got to love that.
