I volunteered to possibly make up for a Christmas exchange that went south. I made a hickory bow for the person and waited for my que. Turns out everything went well with the gift exchange and the bow wasnt needed. The bow was for Scott "Stringman". Scott is a great kanpper, if you didnt already know that. I wanted him to have the bow either way and I wanted one of his works of art. We worked out a swap. He got the bow and I was given this gorgeous knife. Scott I love it!
