Sorry the paddle isn't very archery related. I've noticed that bow photos are tough - too long and narrow, so I thought I would "square up" the photo. I know how to solve the PA content issue - I'll need that paddle when I take my new bow out fishing for carp! :-)
It came with the seminar price, and I am not really sure how long the stave had seasoned.
I've been out hunting, and I must be hooked on PA because I am not seeing deer, but am instead marking vine maple that might make a good bow! :-) And instead of the deer looking like pepperoni and summer sausage on the hoof, they now look like bow backing and quiver making materials!
Has anyone tried making a bow from the wild Cherry that grows in Western Washington? I see a lot more straight and large Cherry, the vine maple here is small. And I don't think I would know yew if I saw it - it's probably at a higher elevation then where I live.
St. Helens is currently in a building mode again. I think she is supposed to be back to her pre-erruption size in another 100 years at the rate she is growing.
