Lenny, the saw dust on the car is funny, so is your list of priorities, were all the same in that respect once we are infected with the "fever".Lol  Danny  P.S.  I went to my sophmore year at Troy,MO and Jr yr in Highscholl at Bowling Green,Mo. There should be plenty of bow wood along the mighty mississippi. The only thing I remember about Hanibal is the jail.lol except for that, pretty fond memories. Young,dumb and full of ....well we know the rest of the story don't we? Danny

We got a new jail unless you are younger than me (45).  You might not recognize Troy now, it is practically a suburb of St. Louis.  And yes this is a good place for bow wood.  Any woods in your part of KS or are you all prairie?

Great combination - hickory backed red cedar - both make good bows by themselves.  Very skillfully done and bookmarked for Dec Backed Bow of the Month.

Along most of the rivers there is riperian habitat except inside the city. I go south near the Oklhoma border to an area that has some woods along the arkansas river and the flint hills watershed. We don't have the kind of woods you guys do though. Thats real woody area as I remember.  I am 43 by the way. Danny

I think you left out the most important thing. Aren't you suppose to "field test" that bow and make sure it's worthy before handing it over :D. Great looking bow, been scouting the red cedars lately in my woods, done scouting.
