 Keenan, Looking forward to seeing the yew bow. I need to finish the one I've been working on. It's the Glen St.Charles yew billet. I'm afraid of screwing up a historic piece of wood.
 
  We need a good frost to get the greens tasty and the oranges sweet. I've been picking lemons for two weeks and it's almost time to pick the pineapples.

 Tim, Mike, I've found out that most of the tillering is done in the glue-up and taking the wood from the sides. That is why James and DavidK's Glue up Blanks are so good.

 Dana, I have two more ;D and the collards will be ready in about two weeks. I finally cut down the ones we have been eating at the Classic the last two years. They got over six feet tall and were 4 years old.

I'll be planting collards this spring the ones I planted last summer didn't survive freeze up but the deer sure like them :)
I'm willing to bet I'll be the only Yooper with collards growing ;D

 Put them in 5 gallon buckets and bring them in when it freezes bad. And bring them home a bucket or two of that stew you stir at work. They'll grow fast ;D

Real nice.  I've got the bamboo for something like that in the garage.  Would love to make one.

  Parnel, Glue it up and finish it at the Classic when James Parker and David Knight can give some good pointers. And thanks, Dano

Look at you fancy pants. Looks like a bow to take to a black tie event. Ill bet it is fast.

Nice bow Eddie.  I guess the nice thing about the weather there is that it will only be marginally better when I fly back on Friday.  I won't fall over from the heat!  It's supposed to be spitting snow for most of the week here. Going to be nice when I get home to FL, even if it is a bit "cool".
