In case It's me you draw, yep.  One of those Badly Bent BL bows would make my pants go crazy!

This is a guy who couldn't spell bow 3 years ago.  Now he's crankin 'em out.  Has a garage full of staves.  He's got it baaaad!

I'm going with osage.  It's all that I have.  But hmmmm, which style shall I pick?  Darn, its so versatile.  Maybe something out of my norm, maybe not?  Long?  Short?  Character?  It's gonna have to be special.  What will it be?  Guess I gotta wait for my name...

I've got a nice piece of vine maple that has about 3 1/2" of reflex. I'm want to make a bend through the handle hunting bow with it but I need to wait to see who my recipient is so I can make sure this stave can handle the draw length.

Man, I can feel the excitement and I ain't even in the bow trade.  :D  The anticipation gets those bow building juices flowing, the cogs in our heads are cranking and soon the chips will be flying. Its almost as much fun just to watch....NOT! ...but I'm enjoying the heck out of it so y'all keep it up.  8)
