Been trying to break him from boards for over a year now. Don't know how many primo staves I've given him. Everytime I see him he's showing me another stinkin' board bow. JEESH.

Maybe he is just waiting for you to build him a selfy, Jon? ;)

The ol' boy is pretty slick you know.

I know he has at least one of yours Jon. I've seen him shoot it. I think the engineer in him struggles with natural materials.

There's an outstanding piece of BL on a shelf in the shop. Had it for year 'n' half, waiting for the correct moment to become a bow.
The positive encouragement engendered by this thread has confirmed that this is that moment.
As soon as breakfast is finished, gonna shuffle out to the shop, pull that piece of wood off the shelf, and get to whittlin'!
And, yes, it's a board.    >:D

Expected much more sympathy for my board resource plight.

Everything is carbon based. All arrows are carbon!  >:D
