I pulled a nice HHB stave from my stash. It is from Twin Oaks, King Ron gave it to me a few years ago. Thinking about another ALB. We'll see how it evolves.  ;)

I've done a few HHB bows and was very impressed with it.

Got my victims name. Got a few ideas bouncing around in my head.

I'd like to throw out a question for you all. I've got a few really, really old fence posts off a farm my brother just purchased. I've been dying to make an old fence post bow. But, lately I've been getting back into the laminated recurve bows... So which bow would you prefer to come home to??? Just curious, and just for fun. What do ya all think?

If it were my choice I'd rather have the old hedge post made into a bow. Nothing against laminates, I've seen some mighty nice ones, but no comparison in character IMO.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.
