i helped him get em split and he gifted a quarter to wayne, one to steve and one to me!

aaron took on the challenge of chasing a ring on on a stave from a 15 yr old walnut log he had.
better him than me, not sure these old eyes could discern those rings even in the sunlight

Looks like a lot of fun.
I like the faces on the horses, they all look so sad though.
You'd think they'd smile more, with all of that bowmakin' goin' on.
