Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Looks like a pretty straight forward build with the natural taper. 

Is that the country fair near Eugene?
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Appreciate the good words about my bows.  Use the internet in finding the horns.  Be wary though, you could end up getting old and very brittle bows that will be good for looks, but not use.  I did answer the gentleman about the gluing procedure.  I am looking for a couple of good horns.  They say they breed Gemsbok in Texas some where.  I haven't been able to find it yet.  You can also see some of my bows in the Conan movie, as I sometimes sell to movie prop people....They pay well. lol.  Good arrows to ya

Apparently there are some record breakers in the White Sands part of New Mexico, too.

I've had a set sitting around for a few years.  Maybe it's time to pull them out ;)
