Aw we will get it figured out about the time we get finished.I plan on getting the one I got to a growth ring laid out ,floor tillered and it needs some serious straightening I was going to do that also and then pass it on.There should be plenty for the others from there.

Gonna try to get some work done on Pat and Justin's today, still gotta run to the PO and send my stave out to Eddie. It's 15 degrees here right now, it should be quite invigorating out in the unheated shop.

Brian, A piece of thin walled PVC pipe works well if there is not to much reflex in the stave. I've used 3" and 4" for shipping bows. Glue a cap on one end and just tape the cap on the other end.     Pat

 Fantastic Pappy,I had a stave with great 1/2" growth rings but didn't know at the time if anybody wanted to play with one with a hole in the limb.I wasn't sure about the stave you have,it was an Ebay rip-off stave from 3 years ago.Looking forward to getting Hillbilly's.
