Galen, if ya don't have a band saw big enough to cut that, my mill should be up and running next week. I ordered the last parts for it yesterday

But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,  (Genesis 49:24 [NETfree])

dunno... i see some billets in there, and the rest lams, and risers- see the off center heart- thats the key in all this!

IF this is usable after drying I'll make lams out of it and use some for a tri-lam.

I agree with Wayne. I think there's 2 billets I there, and maybe some lams, but it's hard to imagine the dimension there. How long is that? I think you could split the top (distal) half into two billets.

Keep looking. Might be some neat riser pieces in that.
