I have a special bow that started life as a blank...the riser is made from a piece of gorgeous curly grain walnut that my father bought back in the eighties to make a gunstock with...the Alzheimers took his ability to make gunstocks and a stroke this spring took his life...that bow has a bit of him in it every time I shoot it...I am no where near the woodworker he was and that bow will always be a work in progress...I have little incentive to work on it though as it is a phenomenal shooter the way it is
