Doc, I wouldn't even know where to begin in making a knife. However, I have been reading the knife building forum trying to get things figured out. Theres an old Maple tree on the back of my place that the last two winters have not been very kind to. This spring I'm gonna wander back there and see if I might find some nice burl out of limb crotch. I've hunted around that tree for 30 years, might make some nice scales for the Bear Quest II knife.
Paul, I've got some 50-54# shafts for the bow. Think they will work?
