      Exactly the way I feel, it’s the principle.

      Companies who claim to have lots of integrity think nothing of getting rid of someone who does not lockstep with their lies and speaks the truth.. Happened recently where I work.

        Thanks Alex.

        I will be e-mailing him and letting him know I will not renew my membership and will no longer donate to them. I will not support or donate to any organization that operates in this manner.

          Great job.

          Always feels good to do it yourself.

          Especially when it turns out that well.

I particularly like the one on the left, both eye-appealing and a design I know from long experience and experimentation to work beautifully to take apart elk. Good luck in your ventures. Dave

            David, you made me go look!

            And I agree 100% on your knife selection.

            Beautiful knives.

              Be 65 in August. Have never shot over 50-55#. Enough for anything I’ll shoot with them.

                Thanks, I had looked at it before.

                And I appreciate the inputs from all.

                This is just a chance to work directly with a bowyer in a hands-on setup.

                Even at 64 I want to learn more and this can’t hurt.

                  Beats the heck out of the skunk that walked by me once. Stopped about 6 feet from me and looked me over real good. Appeared to be trying to figure what I was. Fortunately he moved on after a couple of minutes. Having been sprayed once is enough for me!

If it’s straight, it splits into staves really easily (when its green, after it cures its like splitting a drive shaft). My dad has some staves that have cured for several years, he might be convinced to part with one if you are interested.

                          Thanks for the offer. Was looking for something to learn on before tackling horseapple. Hate to ruin a good stave while learning.
                          Just curious, what part of Texas you located in?

                              Absolutely no problem.
                              Valid question!
                              Only time it gets irritating is when “buddies” turn it into a BS session that has nothing about bows or bowhunting.

                              Tried to pick up a hickory stave this past weekend but none at the supplier.
                              They did have some maple that I may try.
                              Ain’t giving up!
                              Did pick up a nice piece of walnut and a walnut dow rod to make a bow hanger. Now just need some time – wrong time of year to start a project.
                              And my crazy wife mentioned painting insede the house.
                              You’d think after 45 years she would learn to check the calendar!!!:roll:

                                  Thanks Troy.
                                  I agree. Also, to me, both are “traditional” along with bows covered w/glass as long )as they don’t have wheels or a stock). Gonna hit the wood dealer here in Houston area this weekend and try to find a red oak or hickory stave to start with. We’ll see where it goes from there!?
