Title: Southern Community Bow Credits
Post by: Pat B on July 03, 2007, 12:49:18 am

OK you rednecks, Fess up! ;D      Pat

ps. I made arrows shafts, hafted Cowboy's stone points, donated the rattan handle wrap and made a fabulous string for this beauty of a bow.

I didn't really get involved enough to take any credit...but I did floor tiller, assisted Pappy some with tillering, and sanded her down after tillering was complete.

I supplied the stave, skinned it, and put the handle wrap on it.

Does cutting the tree down count ??...I wanna be a redneck ;D ;D ;D ;D

Manny not only cut down the tree, he also roughed out the stave. When Pappy received the stave is was just like Manny had sent it to me. Manny should definately be included in the write up. Manny, you would fit right in with us Rednecks. You would have to leave the surf board at home though. Us rednecks use flat bottom john boats and bass boats when we go out on the water. LOL Where I come from the true sign of a redneck is a guy that lives in a house that is about to fall down but he has a new bass boat and a four wheel drive truck setting in the driveway. One more requirement is you must own at least 2 coon hounds preferably black and tans or blueticks.  ;D

Manny, You are a contributer so you are included. ;) Shannon is a middle man but he had the forethought and generosity to donate the guava stave to the cause, so he also is a contributer. Pat

Okay, here is a rough listing of each contributor. Please forgive me if anyone was left out (that is why I am posting - please chime in), and full names (used screen names in some cases).

I still need to add what kind of stone Cowboy used (data at home right now).

Please correct as appropriate. I'll compile the Northern list in the next day or 4.
