Doing great up here Jerry, just way too busy. Spring has sprung.

Yep held both of those staves in my hand and marveled that Manny was going to turn them into bows. They are "kinky" for sure, man has a definate talent. Can't see how he is able to live in such a terrible place either  ;)

Looks like a Manny bow to me! Can't wait to put an arrow in the air with it. Your trade goods are ready to ship.

Thanks for the update, Manny.

Hey Doug, things are going well but I'm moving out of the current place ( the search continue )

Bernie, I was thinking of "HULA GIRL" for your bow, how that sounds ?

Mikey, Ghost's bow was the most challenging tillering job to date for me, wait to see the side profile   :scared:    :scared:    :scared:  

Bob (lost arra) yes both are Guavas.

Being a lefty, I haven't actually shot your bow Bob (Ghost dog) but it has spend much time on my new tree   :bigsmyl:    

If I remember correctly you where looking for about 58# @ 27", am I right ?

I have send a bow to california that was around 50 # here, it turned out to be over 70 # over there.

Hopefully yours won't have such a jump in weigth, I got it to 52# @ 27" right now to aloud a bit of weight increase by the time it gets there.

should be able to ship them both within the next 2 weeks
