Thanks for the kind words, and not gettin after me for goin "board" on a perfectly good stave.

k-hat, lesken, erik thanks again.....coaster the tiller is a long ways from symetrical, but it shoots way out of proportion to it's draw weight, I guess it can just be bent like the oldman, eh?

Not a thing wrong with that!  It's amazing to me what an experienced bowyer can do with just a little osage.  Thanks for the inspiration!

Howdy Rich
You dang ole Heretic!
Get ME near a band or table saw and I'll carve up anything. I haven't been around for a while, been meaning to give you a call. Damn glad to see that you are still crankin em out! Nice job, as always.
Really good to see that your still shooting those telephone poles that I shoot. Kinda like shooting an elephant gun with the right bow. Mine may not be that perdy, but they do make a nice...THUD sound when your hunting meat.

OK, I'm rambling.

God bless

Another sweet bow Rich!! I've got a few chunks of that yellow stuff now. I'm aiming to get something like that out of at least one of them. I've got one really twisted up stave that I'm not sure what to do with, but you may have just given me an idea. Thanks again for the inspiration my friend!! ;)

Thanks Rich for the kind thoughts. Mean old farts like me don't go away easily.
Almost finished with a new hunting knife. Not the best looking thing in the world, but exactly what I want on my hip. All I got left is decorating. Can't wait to send you a pic. It's a heavy beast...This weekend I will PM you some "mostly finished" pics.
