Annual Give Away Prize Pot

Definitely getting to be quite the list for a winner to choose from. Some very generous offers from a lot of very fine folks.

Wow, this is quite a selection!  Here's my humble offering:  A set of pronghorn rawhide backing strips.  Each is 2" x 38".  Pronghorn hide is very thin and easy to work with, almost transparent when dry.

There is NO better rawhide for bow backing, period, end of conversation. This stuff is no thicker than a good quality business card and a grown man cannot snap a quarter inch wide thong made of it.

Guess they have to have tough hide to deal with the aerodynamic heating from the high mach numbers.

Yup, gotta have a tough hide to keep them from falling apart on that high G acceleration!

I'd be happy to donate one of my favorite tools, Shinto Rasp for the beginners tool kit for bow making.

Doug, I am very grateful for the donation! Thank you for joining in! Im going to group all the parts of bow kit together to make it one big bow making kit as a package deal, so if a new guy wants it, he gets a complete kit.
