I'm going to build 3 completely different bows and chose from them.  If I can't decide I'll just send them all.

Keenan, you tell Lulyn that I don't see a stupid stick in the bunch. She must be mistaken.  ;D

Great plan Steve! ;) I like it and my plan is similar. Building what I can between now and then, that way I should have a back up bow for any that need.

That is too bad about that log.  At least it is in good hands now.  I was recently looking closely at Strunk's boo-backed yew bows, and that sure seems like a good way to make use of yew staves that otherwise would have ended up in the fire.

Holly Coolness!  :o   Road trip to Keenan's!   

I think the back up bow Idea is a good idea.  You of course could have several back ups.    Just remember 55 @ 27.   :laugh:
