Thank you Nathan. I used a lot of heat to try to even the limbs out, but to no avail. I couldn't even get the string to align where I wanted it. This stick seemed to have a mind of its own.
Thank you Pappy.
Thank you Pearl. I appreciate the nice words.
Thank you Donald. I think I got everything bending about right - all things considered...
Thank you Parnell. The tiller does look kind of odd, but it shoots just fine.
Thank you Knapper. The back is stained. Vine maple is naturally very white.
