Very nice, I know i'd buy as many raffle tickets as I could if I saw that. I'm sure it'll generate a lot for the kids. Nice work!

Giving to a good cause is always easy. Thanks for the kind words. How did your bow raffle go Kenny?

Will know Aug 25, hope it goes well, last one was plainjane black glass, think it brought near $300 , prob help if it was a gathering of folks interested in archery!

Thats why I put the arrow inlays in it, to interest the folks who aren't really archers til they see something stand out, just like the skins on yours!!

Snake skins always make a bow stand out above the rest. Great looking TD Jim!

The Corn Roast went Great and we raised around $17k for CHildren's Heart Research. While at the corn roast a friend of mine were talking about the long bow I donated and he mention he had an old friend who was cleaning out his barn. He happened to have a pile of wood he got from a Archery Manufacturer. I visited him today and hit the jackpot.

the majority is bubinga and bocote. He was going to burn it in a bonfire.

LOOks like I will be able to get around 100 risers out of this material. The gentlemen I got the material from said he had some black wood also that he would look for. (ebony?) He was going to check with his pals that are still alive also. He told me they would take the material home in pick up truck loads for fire wood.
