I just glued a hickory backing on to a 70" red oak bow(floor tillered). Question: Do I need to trap the back? Thanks, Bill

El Destructo, I've been meaning to ask you. Didn't I read once that you live in Stinnet, Texas? I partly grew up in Borger and had a lot of wild adventures there. Bill

Yep Bill .......I have Lived in Stinnett for 26 years now...and worked at the Phillips Plant for 23 years now...damn I am geting Old!!!

Yeah, my dad worked at the Phillips plant and also at the carbon black plant. My mother used to hang her clean wash on the clothesline and by the time they were dry, they were also black. I remember setting pins at the bowling alley for 6 cents a line. I'd set 2 alleys at time, and after about 16 lines was so beat I could barely walk home, but it was either that or have no money at all. That was in the early 50's. Times were pretty tough for most folks in those parts, especially if their dad didn't work for Phillips. Bill

Still is Tough here if you don't work for Phillips (ConocoPhlliips or ChevroPhillips)...they still set the Cost of Living around here.....you drive the down town Streets here anymore...and you see more Plywood than Storefronts..the only place growing in the Panhandle are Amarillo and Lubbock..the Phillips and Huber Carbon Black Plants have been sold and resold several times.....but are still open....if you drive the Road between them ...for miles the ground Trees and cattle are still Black....but not as bad as it was in the 80's!!
