Thanks, fellas. I appreciate the feedback.  :D

Wylden, I feel like I've received a lot more than I've given in the last few years so it feels good to do things for other people when I get the chance.

Thanks for the support!

Blacktail, it was a deceptively wild stave. It was a little bit off in too many directions and it didn't really want to be tamed. Earlier this year Bryce took DanK and I cutting vine maple and he took us to his super secret spot where we cut some whoppers. I've got some really fat, long vine maple ready to use. It's pretty exciting. I'm brushing off another piece from this haul tonight that I'm going to use for my christmas trade bow. It's a shorter one (60") and I'm thinking about doing a bend through the handle.
