Those are a fine couple of bows Howard.  I lithe the kid bow a lot.  Some one should be very happy :)

Very nice man!  My hands are swore from burning off that pre classic energy as well.  Love the kids bow.  I'm going to try to make one like that for my little one soon.  See you at the classic!
Thanks,

Man I didn't know the Classic had such an effect,guess I better watch out for all the addicts showing up. :-\  Them are some really cool bows,the little static is sweet.Bend is prefect,the Birch is sweet also but that little bow is a real eye catcher,tell the wife I am sorry about that,hope you get it under control when you return. ??? NO I DON'T. ;) :) :) :) Nice work,looking forward to meeting you in person,I can already tell you are quite the character. ;) :)

Thanks Don.  It seems to be actual work that saps my energy levels.  Working on bows?  Heck, I am happy to do that till I fall over!  Are you not going to make it to the classic?

Thanks IdahoMatt.  Even though my son is all grown up, I still try to make a kid's bow every now and then - usually by accident. :)

Rob, Pappy, Josh - thank you guys.  I feel like I know y'all already, but I am sure looking forward to meeting you in person.  Won't be long now!

  They both look nice, I never have tried yellow birch, I made some from a local birch years ago it seemed pretty good for such a light wood.

Thanks Badger.  Was that river birch that you tried?  That's all we have around these parts and I haven't tried it yet.  This yellow birch is a light weight wood, but surprisingly strong.  I am looking forward to trying a different style bow with it.

Ha!  Funny how you sensed that I am a diet mountain dew freak!  Great bowmaker's drink - habit forming, tastes great, and enough caffeine to choke a horse.

No Howard, sadly to say I'm not going to make it this year...Life and work are keeping me on lock down, I really wish I could go and meet my friends face to face and shoot a few rounds. I know by seeing previous posts that you guys have a blast...I plan to go someday though. Have fun and hope you guys have a blast and the weather is beautiful for you.

Very nice.  Both of them. 
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

     Well Don I hate that you aren't gonna make it this year.  Hope to meet you in the future.  Maybe you can make the classic next year. 

     Thanks Parnell.  See you Thursday.
