That is one fine stick.  I especially appreciate your success because i'm in the throws with a narly piece of VM myself.  I think I've steamed it 4 or 5 times already.  Wife walks in... "oh, your cooking a stick again"   :D

What a nice lookin weapon u got there and to top it off you put skins of a sturgeon makes it pop.  I was hoping to catch some Muskys or even some huge chain Pickerel...which theres an old hole I have caught them as big as 35 inches.  Great job and good luck on ur bow quest!

That's really funny!
A lot of times people probably think we'd really need treatment when we talk of steamed wood and toasted bamboo, sometimes simply the word rawhide makes them look at us funny...  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks again everyone. It was a..... well I guess it was a joy to work something a bit different? :D

Josh, come on you can do it!

Looking forward to see how you come out Keenan.

 Ross factor,Cooking sticks.... Never thought of it that way. 8) Stay at it son!

Venom, I've seen pike on bows, but never seen musky. Get ya some a lets see um.

Pappy, I thinned these alot before I layed them down and wrapped them with ace bandage until set. Otherwise they want to roll up on the edges.

I've heard that too. Some folks think that probably because it can take so much abuse. However with all the grain swirls, whoop-de-doos, twists, and tension induced reflex it is anything but.
