Pat, I'm not sure exactly what the next step is, looks like there's four other people after me before it arrives back to Keenan. I'll do something to it and send it on.

Know the feeling, Brian. I've been covered up to the eyeballs with work the last couple weeks, on top of a bad cold and pulling a muscle in my back. I did get Pat's roughed out and Justin's floor tillered, hopefully I'll get to do some more this weekend.

I got it todayaround 2.I have a few questions,First for PatB.This is laid out at 60 in. n-n It has been shot and the tiller looks good the only problem is no weight.I put it on the tillering board today and it is 25@21.I can't remember your draw and will look back at my notes but I am thinking you said 26 so it might go 40 if we are lucky.I thought about cutting it down to 56 or 58 and rawhide backing it or had you rather have sinew,I don't know if sinew will bring the weight up enough anyway without cutting it down.I need some advice.OK now on the vine maple,it has a lot of propeller,dose this stuff react good to heat or dose it need to be steamed?I have it laid out 1 3/4 to mid limb and then tapered to the tips to 1/2.I already have it worked down to that and will have some pictures in the morning.Is this kind of what you were wanting.Who dose this one belong to?

Pappy, the evil vine maple is mine. Never worked VM, so I don't know about the heat situation, Gordon or Milo would know. As far as what you make of it, that's up to y'all, I'm not picky.

Pappy · « **Reply #299 on:** March 12, 2007, 09:57:03 pm »

Man that was quick.OK I will check back in tomorrow and see if I can get a few ideas.I think it will be fine what ever I do,PatB's is the one I am concerned about the most.I will start thinning the limbs on yours tomorrow evening,got it laid out and the side profile done today.Man it is going to have some character in one limb for sure.
