Dryad Bow blanks

Yep sometimes no matter how careful you are in selecting materials a hidden flaw shows itself during the tillering process. Doesn't happen to often though. We sold almost 200 blanks last year and only had five warrentee replacements. Like I said James, "I'll replace it no charge". It is already on the build list and will be completed right after Memorial Day. Hope you don't mind waiting that long we've had a bunch of orders come in.

Besides it will let you nerves settle a bit. LOL

LOL - I know my nerves would have to settle - and then build back up to a steady level again.

Amen to THAT Bernie!! I would be just a Little Ball Of Nerves when the BANG happened!! Just Means that it can Happen to Anybody, and enforces the "Observe As You Build" Rule! Well Done Mike, and Good for You James to Take it All in Stride!!

Mike is aces! When my archery class bought blanks from him, one of them blew. I don't know if it was a "hidden defect" in the wood, or just the results of a 13 year-old tillering his first bow.

Mike not only replaced it, he rough tillered the bow as well and my student ended up with a very nice bow that I am pleased to say he is still shooting to this day as a 16 year-old.

Hey Mike my Dryad blank blew too! You know, the one with the horn belly? Scared the poop outta me. Could you make my replacement soon?

James Wrenn · May 10, 2007, 03:34:00 PM

Yeah I think this one had horn on it too Micky.

I got a backup or 3 laying around however so don't be too relieved yet.

Mickey,

Hmmmm! you never got a blank or a horn for that matter. I'll remember this in January and I do the cooking. LOL

Yep you might want to watch the spice box when we put together your meals. Them Habenaro peppers add a little pop to the potatos.

LOL

Micky, I remember Mike mentioning an old recepie his dad taught him. Some thing he called "one bend stew". Not sure what that means but there were a lot of snickers around the table. :rolleyes:
Cheers.

Think I'll be brown bagging it

I mean it's not that I don't trust Wingnut or anything :rolleyes:

Oh Mickey,

You know that I'll take care of ya. :rolleyes:
Your my little buddy!!

For those of you that have never had the pleasure of Mickey in hunting camp. He is culinary impaired and only eats a few things and those are S&P only. His will be the dinner prepped on the back burner all by itself while the rest of us have Jambalaya or something good like that.

LOL
