Title: Thanks Jawge

I want to thank George for a lot of help and patience. I decided to try to make a bow from a maple tree I cut down. I emailed George for ideas on layout ect. He not only gave me great info but gave me the idea of making a board bow while drying the maple. Being totally new to all of this I asked many questions and got lots of help in return. Wonderful guidance!! Long story short, I test shot my first self-made bow tonight! Wow, it shot beautifully. Not totally finished but things are looking great. This site and you guys are really helpful, knowledgeable and entertaining. Thanks to all for helping me to start this journey.

But, Special Thanks to George for all his assistance. George your site and you are the best!

Yep, George got me started on making bows. Without him I would have given in and bought a glass bow. I now hold him responsible for my addiction!

You're definitely leaving your mark George...and that is by passing this great knowledge and privilege on to others...that's making a difference in a positive way.  ;)

It's a thrill ain't it, getting that first one strung up and shot, knowing you done it yourself.

I think of Jawge as a real evangelical when it comes to this sport.  Always a-preachin' and a-teachin'. 

Hey Jawge?  Thanks for all you do.  And thanks to the rest of you in the community out there, too.

Well I'm not too computer savy, being a primitive type guy. But, I'll try to post some pictures as soon as it's finished. Should be very soon.

I'm really curious as to the english translation of "jawge" a word I see used much on this site, but I never know what it means ??? all the best to you all,   David
Oh, and just as important, how is it pronounced?  I may want to start using it over here!!

Dragonman- that's just an alternative way to say his name. Them Yankees talk funny.  If you gonna spend any time in the states, it needs to be in God's country where they still refer to the war of northern aggression :-). No further north than about TN.  Pronounced joj
