That's really funny!  I can't wait to see what he does with that osage stave.

After out witting you with the mini bow surely you didn't think you could fool him by putting the twisty osage stave at the top of the
pile now did you? :o
Can't wait to see what he makes out of it.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

I was thinking how tough that would be for anyone much less a beginner,smart kid , Good looking bow and looks like he knows how to pick staves. ;) :) Good stuff. :)

Man, my son (Zach) was really eating these comments up last night. He would have gotten his stave anyway, but that little cedar bow was really something. I'll turn him loose on some better wood as soon as it dries.  He is always ready to go with me to go cut and split and carry out bow wood as well as pack out armloads of cane. Good kid.

Dad, You just got played! :o  LOL

.....like a cheap fiddle!  Your son has a wonderful "gloat" face.  I think I like him.  He beat you like a rented mule and did it with a twist!  I definitely like him.

.  .  . suppose I did but man, it was a fun deal. Sad to say, his little brother broke the bow last nite trying to string it.  He has already started on another cedar mini.

You could add a last minute codicil or requirement to the deal.  He has to build a miniature bow from the same stave as well as the full sized bow!  He's crafty enough that he may very welll be thinking of it already. 

He's welcome at my turkey camp any spring, or muzzleloader deer camp in the winter, and any Rendezvous I may find myself at.  I like his bent sense of humor!

Wow guys.  .  . I don't know what to say to those offers!  I appreciate it and Zach too, of course.  He has not as yet been fortunate enough to take a turkey, but has taken a couple of deer.  Maybe we'll cross paths with ya someday.
