I got some dip I will share Tiller. ;) ;D
   Pappy

Thanks, but no thanks Pappy! I tried that stuff once and could not feel my lip for a week after.

Don't smoke myself. But every once in a while for special events a cigar is nice, prefer a pipe but ya need the acoutrements for that!  ;D  Reason I did not take up pipe smoking is I liked it too much!!! Cancer runs in the family too. So thats another incentive not to start untill in my 70's or 80's! ;D

Hmmm! Dont think I can fit a bow and arrows in the luggage on the way down but will try to make them there and ship them back. Think I will be able to do this if I come in on Sunday and start in right away?

Sure is nice of Ron to be picking me up at the airport and taking me back. Thanks again Ron! Cant wait to meet ya at the airport.

When it comes to cigars, I don't think there is a downwind.   ;D   Pat

We will have our own little mushroom cloud fanning out from the fire!  ;D

Dont worry about floor tillering it for me Pappy. I like a challenge! I think I should have plenty of time if I start in on Sunday evening and work all the way through.  Is this too ambitious?

Any ideas on what type of design I should aim for? Will limit myself to a 27-28" draw and at most 55-60# draw.

Penobscot...Not just no! But HELL NO! That would take me at least two weeks.  ;D

Challenge is good but impossibilities I will pass on!

Do you want one that has to be debarked and a ring chased,or one already down to a ring ?
I would say a pyramid 66-68 1 1/2 and tapper to the tips.That should do it.Fairly simple and easy to tiller.  :)

Never chased a ring before! Is it hard to do? If not I'll go for it. But if it takes to much time I'm up for the pre-chased ring. Either way I will be one happy camper!  ;D

The pyramid design sounds like the way to go. Can we flip the tips on this design?

You have plenty of time. Do it all, rough it out, chase the ring, start to finish. You have so much experienced help at your fingertips it would be a shame not to take advantage of the opportunity.  Justin

Ron, thats really generous of you.  You sure you want to give up a stave?  I dont want to deprive you of a prime peice of ossage. Though, I'm up for taking a raw stave from begining to end product. Need to do this more often but have not had the time. I still have one of Manny's guava staves sitting in my shack that I never can get to.

Thanks!  :)
