JPitts, BeetleBailey, Ryoon, Ken, Pesh, JBL, Hrothgar:  Thank you for your kind words.  Ken, I will definately point it at a deer this fall.  Can't wait to use it.

Chris:  Thanks!  Have you worked any on that osage?  Probably got your hands full with all that yew wood!

Buckeye Guy:  Unfortunately, I cannot make it to GLLI.  I have to work that weekend.  The "little woman" says, "Hello" though.

Not yet Matt. I did have my hands full for three days in a row with all that wood. And yesterday my hands were full of sinew n glue backing that Osage n red cedar finally.  Now that those are curing I think im gonna start work on one of the staves next. You get a chance yet to fill your mancave with ERC aroma yet?

Excellent job!  I was lucky enough to see this stave in mid build and to see it now blows my mind!  Talent, sheer talent!  Thanks for sharing~

I don't normally favor that style of bow, but I have to say that yours turned out splendidly.

Lee: See you at Elm Hall!
APH, Gordon, Juan, Cesar, & Will:  Thank you for the nice compliments.  I've seen some real nice bows turn out of your shops, as well. 
Robustus: I think you're right.  Taking another look, my string angle looks to be at 89 degrees.  Another inch would likely be the death of it.   

Thanks again, guys!
