Than be interested in the changing use of language?  I just thought it was unusual that you would pick an obscure word  that also has the completely opposite meaning to communicate with an international audience that has probably never heard it used and likely never will again.  O:)

 That will teach me to try to assuage a discussion by trying to make a comment seem positive.  ;D

Yes, I get that.  I'm still wondering how it leaped over 150 years and to Canada.
 I was born in the UK and only ever heard it in a positive sense while growing up.

ERC exploded by a mere 15 lbs of tension stress and entire nations full of people divided asunder by a common language.  Boy these PA forums have everything!

Well, Pat... I was born and raised in western Canada, with English ancestry on both sides. The only usage of this particular word I ever heard was negative. Chuffed means you are choked. How did that come about in Canadian language? Who the hell knows.
But, like my Mumma used to say... it's a great day when you learn something new. The only thing I don't understand is: how is this relevant to a discussion on one man's opinion of ERC as a bow wood? Sometimes this forum gets soooo far off topic, I find myself shaking my head in amazement.  ;D

Well I was actually born in the UK and I have never heard the word used in Canada (outside my childhood home) in any form.
 What does this have to do with ERC as a bow wood? Well I thought Pearlie should still be chuffed with the general opinion of him as a bowyer despite ERC not meeting his stringent demands and I thought you did too  ;D

Quote from: Gun Doc on January 29, 2015, 06:06:01 pm
The warbow was/is impressive, but the one that inspires me was made a few yrs ago by a young lad named Tom.  He went by the handle youngbowyer and I don't believe he was any older than 13 or 14.  I don't know where to start to find the pics, but I imagine JW could post a pic or two of it as I'm sure it still holds a place of honor on JW's bow rack.
     

Dang skippy, Tom/youngbowyer nailed the tiller on that 63# at 26", 66" tip to tip.  She's a hard hitter and fits the description that PatM posted from Ernest Thompson Seton.  The bow is unbacked and a shallow D crossection, bendy handle.

And what's the use of having Drums around if ya ain't gonna beat on 'em once and again?  Speaking of which, howz it feel to be bested in bowmaking by a 14 yr old boy?   >:D  Now go put on your pull-ups and start another piece of ERC and quitcher whinin'!  There's too much talking and not enough pitchers getting posted!
