  Happy Fat Tuesday to you too Sadie. I get your drift. I grew up in Savannah and we had one of the three biggest celebrations in the US for St Patricks Day; New york and Boston the other two. Long days with lots of embibing will surely take it toll. I don't miss those days much anymore...I do still hold on to some of the memories. ;)

you remember???? :o

3" of reflex Chuck?

Thats a good number to end up with a nice, flat unstrung profile. 4" Will usually keep a tad of that reflex. It never hurts to have 2 or 3 cauls around the shop of varying degrees.

There will be more in the making very soon.  Went out, got more clamps, came back, oiled the stave up, clamped the handle down.........HEAT GUN WILL NOT WORK.  So I packed everything up, put it away and came in the house. >:(  No the hunt is on for a heat gun....lol

No we don't have that store here in Va that I know of Steve, but we do have a store that sells discount items and they have a few in that price range.

My Walmart Wagner heat gun has been going strong for years.  Even after the cord somehow got melted  ::)

After we got the potentially good news about my son today I called my Dad to see if he wanted to look for sheds.  We spent two hours hiking through the hills.  No antlers but we found an Elm tree that was struck by lightning.  It had about an 8" strip of bark blown off of it from the to the ground.  It spiraled around the tree all the way down.  I've never seen that before.  We came home with some treasures; 2 golfballs, a turtle shell minus the turtle, and one side of a coyote jaw.  I spent more time looking for trees to cut than I did antlers.  It was some good quality time in the woods with him.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left
