How many of us are still here from the old forum?

Yea, When I went to buy the osage from Russel he was living in a mini-warehouse where he was making bows. His new Filipino wife had him thrown out of his house and had a restraining order against him.

It was the same with Chris.  Left one for another then in less than a year was having trouble with the new one.  Maybe they watched too many of Jerry's shows.

I bought a mess of stuff from Rusell when he was having trouble and closing shop, can't say it was top grade material.  So far as I remember he was the first one to make/post a bow made with floor laminate Bamboo.

 I bought a roughed out osage recurve that was already bent, got it shooting with no finish, shot it at Elberton in 2004, met PatB. Then came home and finished it and tied for BOM in the first color BOM issue. It's still my go to bow. I also got a roughed out yew set in take-down handles I finished and traded for Fly rod gear. He was supposed to have sold me his big 12" wide belt sander, gave him some money to hold it and let him finish some bows and he sold it to someone in North Florida, I think BowKinn or David Knight. I was pissed.

Elberton was one of my favorite shoots(except for the seed ticks  ) and now I know why. I met Eddie there.

How many saved any posts as complete pages from the old forum?  I saved quite a few and most actually still open.  Most of the pages had to do with posts I had started but there is the odd page from other members, one in particular being Alberto's horn bow.
