Fantastic bow Richard. Now I need to throw a "want ad" up for some persimmon.

      My persimmon was whitishwith gray mottling. I have to wonder if some persimmon takes up more minerals into the wood than other trees, my one sample burned up the bandsaw blade almost as soon as it touched it and took the edge off every tool I used. I finaly settle for a scraper but had to keep a file on my lap and resharpen after 6 or 7 scrapes.
