Clint, I just stumbled upon your post here. Great find man. I had one four years ago . that was almost that big. It was a bear. I suppose I'll throw my hat in the ring on the guessing contest. Put me down for 88. It also matters what we consider a bow stave. Some of mine were primo, some were pretty good and some are still waiting for me to get bored with working with good staves ( they might be waiting a while). . I made some bows with them, traded, sold and gave away a bunch. I do remember it was over 60. It had three lengths about 6ft and I think it was 16" at the base. No interior rot. I only have one stave left out of the "matriarch" ( thats what I called it). I started on that bow this week. Will post when its finished. Once again congrtats, its too bad I don't live close cuz I would come over and we could have a debarking party. Thats where the real work begins. Sometimes hard to get help on that part of the equation. Danny
