Thanks for coming along with me for this one guys. I'm just happy it came full circle and didn't end up in the firewood pile.  (=)  :D

That is a sweet looking bow! A snakey osage stave is in my christmas list for sure! (Not going to happen I am afraid but someday it will!)

Nice job, Jeff. Good job tillering.

Thank you fellas. Build alongs have really helped me learn so much here on PA. And I'm a believer in that old saying, "you've got to give it away to keep it."

The holidays have got me thinking about how grateful I am for this site and all of you.  :)
