I think mullet lives in Lakeland. Looks like your not too far from there. You might look him up and shoot him a pm. I make a trip down there every year and plan on getting up with him next go around. Patrick

Missouri, where all the best wood is! Well maybe not the straightest!

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

Yea, your twenty minutes west of me. Seminolewind lives in Riverview also. He came over last week and got me out of the house with a trip to The Winghouse.
Lakeland, Florida

haha I've started to do that, I work on the railway an there's a big push on felling everything that holds a leaf within 3 metres of the track so I'll be stockpilling the attic!
