Somebody pinch me.
« on: July 14, 2011, 11:52:18 pm »
Every now and then fate throws you a curve. Things had been going rough for me for the last two weeks and I was feeling a bit down. Work wasn't allowing me to go to MOJAM, my fatherinlaw was sick, I was running out of time to get things done, blah blah blah. We all know what I was going through. No different than everyone else. Anyway, I come home and have a ton of things on my mind and forget the mail. I go get it and my first surprise hits. I missed a package described as a tube! My pa trade bow! My day just got better. I dump the kids on my neighbor and head to the post office to get my new bow. My mind is excited as I wonder what it will look like, but I'm still not super excited as I cruse there. Then at a stoplight I look again at the small slip of paper and I now see the space that says sender... Howard! I'm super excited. I know of only one man with that last name. Somehow I got lucky and drew Keenan as my bowyer!  I now fly to the office and sure enough it was from Keenan. I tucked the tube under my arm, thanked the postal employer that helped me as I flew out the door and raced home.
  I'm new to this bow building game and like many new guys have a fe people that I try to learn from. Keenan was definitely one of them. His bows  make my bows beter. I could go on about the bow and Keenan's work, but you all know already.  I called him to say thank you and let him jnow what it meant to me and we chatted a bit. I'll post some pics after I get back from MOJAM, I just wanted to say thabks in public... And rub in my good lick too! >:D  Thanks again Keenan!

Congratulations Dvshunter!
I havent seen  a bow from Keenan that i didt like,even if the style dont appeal to me the workmanship and attention to details is always topshelf.
I wouldnt mind one myself ;D

What a nice surprise! Mail is like that. One day its bills and jury duty summons, and then another you get a card, a PA mag, or a tube.  :P
