I just made an order with Frank.  I am curious what problems you had.  Mine looks great, but I haven't gone through the whole pile yet.

Curious question, what did you order/expect, and what did you get? Also, is there a link to the sight?

Just lots of cuts across the back, basically unusable. Said he would refund me but didn't want me to order again. Guess I'm too picky for him. He might be right.  ;D I am picky about what goes into my bows.

Jesse, I have a supply of switch cane that I cut from and oven dry. What are your specifications and I will see if I can match them?
