I cant get over how cool that riser looks.
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

I'm anxious right along with all of you - maybe not as much as Carpdaddy, but close :lol:

I see the strength you'll gain with the I beam.

One thing I can't quite understand; how do you stabilize a pine cone :?:

I can sort of understand Graps wanting stabilized wood and can almost imagine how that is done, but a pine cone?
Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.

Well ole Kenny got the riser glued up, but then he wasn’t content, usually the black at least doesn’t show a glue line, this one was visible. So he ask me about cutting it apart and adding a racing stripe, I was alright either way, he re-glued it today with a black stripe.
