Thank again guys.
GlisGlis - Handle wrap is alot easier than you think. its just built up leather, and a split piece of cane thats been soaked in hot water. dry it off
and use super glue to secure it you wrap. i spiraled about 6 or 7 pieces of silk soaked in glue between the cane, i didnt like seeing the leather peeking out in spots.
loefflerchuck - i sure did, thanks for the second opinion on a tiller i was obsessing about.
h rodes and parnell - not a day passes where i dont feel blessed to live here
weylin - sturgeon on yew is certainly a eye catching combo. cant wait to see yours

Beautiful bow, I love the nocks.
GlisGlis, go to a craft shop and ask for rattan for chair seats, it's narrow and you can still thin it down

Great work and it is good to see some more Cascadian metal heads making great bows!!!  >:D When you ever make it south of the border, come hang out and go stumping with us.
