Hey Clint, don't forget to try an Elm sapling...a tiny little sapling...and make it short too.  >:D
Saplings are awesome!

I had an elm sapling but I couldn't find it today.  I'll dig a little deeper in my stash on my next day off.  I sure did like that bow you were shooting at the Classic.  You were lethal with that thing.  I hope you post a picture of it laying across a hog.

Clint, I don't think I could go a year without working yew! In my experiences with vine maple, it doesn't need to be over 1 3/4" for around 50#. It's for sure a heavy hitter wood, capable of high weights.
Can't wait to see what you do with that yew stave

No Osage for a year!?  That sounds like an awful punishment.  I'm sure you will be a better bowyer because of it though.  Best of luck to you

Must be rough having a stash so big you can misplace a stave lol.. Oh the woes of apartment living.

No bodark for a year... Like sayin no "secks" for a year! What earthly benefit does that bring?!? I know absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I pity the first osage you fondle after your sabbatical!!

I admire your courage sir! You're a stronger man than I.

Wizard Goat, I'll be bringing a piece of vine maple and a yew stave to Marshall.  Hope you guys can make it.  I'll be needing lots of help.

Stringman, I have been building a decent stash of non osage.  I always grab a yellow stick when its time to make a bow.  I'm forcing myself to try different species this way.  I'm sure it will help me out one way or another.  You are probably right about that first osage bow after a year.  It will probably be like prom night all over again   ;D

Do you have to wear a Monk's Habit or a chastity belt for the whole year too?

Should we start placing bets on when (or) if the Outlaw will cave in, after all outlaws have no respect for rules or laws. ;D
