It will be my main daily walking stick, Gus. My old hickory walking stick has seen better days.  ;)

Well, there's a dog and scoundrel in this exchange :o and I'm sure glad I got picked by him ;D. Weylin, there's an old saying," you go to hell just as quick for lieing as stealing" ;D and I'm sure glad you told me that fib. I just got one heck of a pretty Vine Maple bow this afternoon from that artist in Oregon.

 It's late and I'll get some pictures of it in it's warm, new, home tomorrow and I'll string and shoot it then also. I went to string it and noticed the top horn tip was missing. No problem, I found it in the bubble wrap and glued it back on. I want to let the glue set overnight before I string it.

 Thank you, Weylin, like I said before, it's perfect for me.   ( you didn't have to worry about the book anyway) :)

he posted it in the Bow forum when he posted the bow. Said he'd never send a bow late to the guy that owned the black book. LOL. I was playing it like a Poker hand, counting down the gifts sent to the ones received. I figured it was getting to the last cards and I got the Ace in the Straight Flush.

So glad it made it to you in one p... ok, two pieces, guess it could have been worse. :-\ Sorry that the tip came off, that's never happened to me. must have gotten a good thump in the package. That's a real bummer. I'm glad you like it, I hope it serves you well. You may notice a small crack on the belly of the top limb. That was from my attempt to tame that dog leg. It wasn't having any of that and it let me know right away. I took the pressure off immediately and filled the tension crack with superglue and it never gave me a problem again. I shot it a fair bit to make sure. Sorry 'bout the white lie, wanted to keep some mystery to the end if I could. I'm sure you had your suspicions given that there weren't many left to ship. Can't wait to see the pictures with you and the bow.  :)

Finally home!!!  There it was....a long cardboard tube...with my name on it!! Thank you so much Wylden Freeborne! He sent me the sister bow to Maeven and The Blonde Bomber. It is named "Fade to Black", and is a beautiful yew longbow. Pulls 56# @28". And it came in an awesome cloth cover with some leather trim and a cool tuft of fur (rabbit I'm guessing). My description doesn't do it any justice so here are some pics. Sorry for the poor picture quality.

Cover:








Thanks again...and the Star Wars stationary was pretty sweet too!

I got my package a little over a week ago, but we moved right after and I have yet to get some snapshots. I will soon. It is a sweet, leather and fur trim hip quiver from BeetleBailey that I have already taken out stumping and quite like the way it holds the arrows tight and quiet and allows a smooth draw easily. Thanks Beetle!


Skarhand - Glad you got the package! Sorry it was late....I hope you get good mileage from her!

I received my gift a week ago and my family and I been sick for a while so sorry for the delay. I got a gift from madcrow/ Eddie! I received 2 stone knives, 1 obsidian and 1 chert ( please correct me if I'm wrong). Both have antler handles and the tine has some snake skin on it. There was also a bone knife with a jute handle. 2 loose arrow heads, 1 stone / 1 bone. And to top it all off there was a buckskin bag with some beautiful bead work on it. You sir are talented and gifted with skill and quite generous on top of it!!!
Thanks
Paul
