I know what you mean about being nervous.  The guy I got in the TG bow swap is a REALLY good bowyer, trying to put something nice in the hands of a pro can be a bit nerve racking ;D  I'll be looking for tool marks with a magnifying glass and probably staring at tiller shape until I start to drool and go cross eyed.

are choke cherrys from black cherry tress, small and blackish maroon? i have ALOT in my yard and if i can eat them i would be sooooo happy ;D

Yes you can eat, jelly, ferment them. The wood will also make a bow.
my mom used to make syrup from them...hmmmm come to think of it, I have a couple of chokecherry staves I can start on.... ;D
this is gonna be fun!!!!

Oops you said TG trade lol.

Yeah I won't give any more details. See you guys in four months when I come up for air, this will make me slow down and strive for perfection to the best of my abilities. This trade and draw are exactly what I need.

Don't be a stranger, Justin. We need to look over your shoulder and make comments while you work.  ;D
  It's great to see the enthusiasm and there is no need to be intimidated. Take the opportunity to learn from what others are doing. There is no need to rush(but please do remember there is a deadline!  ;) ). Take your time and have fun.
Now!  When do I get mine!  >:(   ::)

A 'Little' thought Pat? I'm going to be cogitating on this for some time. This is definitely something I want to take it slow and steady and do it right.
