Hey you know you can get antler at alot of pet stores? I found some. I dont know why. I guess a dog would enjoy chewing on an antler. Probably for the same reason my dog used to chew on my wall (somhow). Or my shoes. Or guitar. Or all electrical cords in the area not matter what you do to protect/make them out of reach... :)

When you are ready for the horn tips I'll send you a pair of cow horn tips that you can make them with.

..You probably want to reduce your tips from 18/18mm... 12/12 is more than enough for a 120# ash. But start off with 18/18mm and just reduce until you are satisfied with it

ya, even though thats what the dimensions said, i like finding out for my self with that as a reference ;D, i also wouldn't mind go a little over 120 if the wood can handle it, if not ill find out once i start tillering
thanks

barely, i think i have to remove some more on the belly, it feels like it coming in MUCH heavier than expected, should have it with some bending pics either later today or tommorow
