Congratulations Pappy on a well-deserved win!
I know that you started out many years ago attempting to make selfbows with very little knowledge, but a lot of desire. That was a time of limited information available, and few experienced people to ask advice from. After a lot of trail and error, some disappointments, and eventually some direction you've become the very talented and respected bowyer that we know today.
I'm sure you'd agree that you had some great competition among the 2007 monthly selfbow winners...of which all should be proud of their accomplishment.
