Very thoughful gesture with the twin bows Ken. You must have one HUGE pile of Crepe around man. I have seen a bunch of them for you in the last year.

Those are two sweet bows.  I wish I knew crepe myrtle was good bow wood 5 years ago.  I helped someone cut and burn a bunch.

Man those are nice. Osage makes some nice stain, don't it?
