Awesome post! While reading your story, my mnd drifted to the sight of the many old growth oak and maples on and island I hunted this fall.

I found several giant old trees blown down, slowly being reclaimed by Mother Earth. I wondered many of the same things- what history of our land have these old growth giants been witness too? It seems a shame that such old growth be destined to just rot away into the soil.

Perhaps my next visit I should bring along the means to cut some pieces off to make such a use of. Food for thought for sure. Enjoy your new bow.

I'd say you did that Union Jack proud with that introduction.
Thanks for taking the time to pen it.
Will be waiting for the reviews.

Let me tell you Ric, I got goosebumps reading that...one of the best things I have read on this great site. Good luck with your piece of history! Now that bow has some real medicine

Looks like Santa will arrive a little early...and he'll be driving a FedEx truck! Tracking shows that it is "Out for Delivery".

It isn't very often that someone knows where the wood used in their new bow comes from, let alone the exact tree and where it grew for over 300 years.

Wait just a minute, there is someone at the front door.....it's the FedEx truck.....let me get back to ya'll.
