Good on you bubby!

Nice hooks levi,  way to bend that sage!
Travis,  but time you took up the family trade! Good looking blank!

Thanks Paul, I thought about boiling them but we wouldn't have got both tips bent and he got some practice with the heat gun

Looks like you got Levi in deep on his bow project, you may end up with a shop buddy for life bub.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
