Man, that's purdy!!!!  I may be able to "acquire" more of that same stuff, but it will be a little more difficult now.  Bring that bow to the Classic or Moontree so we can get an up close look at it.  Nice job man!!

Chris, that is a standout.  It's always good to ERC bows and I like your take on it...leaving it long and giving it legs.  It looks REALLY healthy.  Classy girl right there.  Super job.

Beautiful bow. I like the color contrast. You should bring that bow to Marshall. I have my eye on some erc I may cut this spring.

Hey 'hawk, how do you store and season your ERC?  Do you go ahead and split it out into staves, or leave it whole or halved?  It is such beautiful wood, I have to try it.

Awesome work.  Definitely my favorite wood.  All my deer the past three years have been with ERC.  And squirrels and rabbits and the odd dove... Great lookin' bow!

Greg it either sits in my outdoor enclosed shop,or in my basement/garage/shop....on the stuff I harvested myself before I just ripped it with a saw...the stuff I got from you was so nice I just split em in half and most of em are still in halves...I did rip a couple halves on the saw already and debarked most of it...you can slow season it or quick season as long as you do it right either way,and I've done both ways with good results

Thanks Sweeney
