That is definitely a keeper.

Now you see what us westies are talking about!
Well done! I like it a lot!
There's a 99% chance I cut that stave, either way, your welcome ;)

Sorry Pinecone, that is one I cut.  When Steve came shopping for a stave to send to blackhawk, I went to my private reserve.  I remember cutting it: Spring bear hunt 2012 Tillamook State Forest near Salmonberry River.  It was cut near the edge of a clearcut and had some of that yellow orange bark that happens when vine maple grows up in the sun.  There was some question as to whether this sunny vine maple was as good as the green stuff.  Well, I guess it is good enough for Chris.   ;)

Nice work on that thing Chris.  I eyeballed that stave for quite sometime, glad it became a bow by your hands.  Nicely done  8)

AAAAAAHHHH I see!
