So, ya had a conversation with your victim, huh? Hmmmmmm, unfortunately that doesn't narrow the population of possible victims much, does it!??
 >:D

Nope,  but I will tell you it's been quite a while since I had the conversation. But we have had a few.
Dosent help narrow it down much does it buddy?

Mike that was a branch that came out when I belly split that stave. You can leave as is or take it down some. I like it sticking out there some.

Cool, Jon. Tips and handle are now lined up.

Not so thick on the rings. 3/32 or so. Not often the wiggles match up like that in a stave. After pealing the stave I seen the grain and moved the layout down the stave a bit. Arvin

I am jealous of whoever gets that bow!

Thats cool Arvin! I love it when the wood shows you where the bow is. Can't wait to see the tiller on that one bud!

Got some work done on mine today. String is all lined up and the tips flipped and one limb heat treated. Here's a couple of pictures.

Right limb is heat treated and it shows.
