  Way to go, I plan to get my grandson started in another few years. 9 looks like a good age.

Thanks guys heck i had it in the stave press and told levi to step back and i lifted the limb and asked him if the bend looked smooth, he looked at it and after a slight pause pointed to a spot and said it wasn't the same as the rest, and sure enough he saw a slight stiff area, the boys a natural😀

He's pretty good with that heat gun.  Looks like you had a good day working with them.
