Give it a good home Allan. That piece of maple is very usual in that it did not show itself to me till I opened her up. Always amazes me what God can do with wood. It is really fun for me to get to find out what he puts inside a blank of wood. Thanks Allan for letting me make a stock for you.

Yes I inherited the optimizer from Steve Rodo who did a great job setting it up for me. I believe we increased the cheek height about 3/8" or so higher than the standard height to help offset the difference for the optimizer. I didn't want to go too high in case it gives up on me and I have to go to a more conventional setup.

As far as the portageville airport is concerned, unless you are in a crop duster you might be in trouble. Not to many passenger airlines stopping here. Matter of fact even greyhound took us off their stop list a few years ago.

Hopefully things will work out for Boofest this year and I will bring get a chance to bring the girls out for a good time

Simply amazing work, and watching the progress was great, it shows just how much work goes into it, and the craftsmanship required to get the result, outstanding!

Well,I am stumped on that one, but I am not alone on this. I have asked everyone I known including family that have been in the area over 100 yrs and no one knows about an airport in portageville. There was an "airport" at Penman which is a bit over a mile from me. Other than that I believe there are airports at Caruthersville, Sikeston, poplar bluff and Malden.

I am east of portageville towards the river, but portageville is a small place and if you were heading this way I would love to meet up,with you.

Actually if you were in the area I might suggest meeting up at Holcomb, mo and catch a bite at Strawberry's. Some of the best pork steaks you will ever eat. I am even tasked with bringing a cooler full of them to my companies head office for meeting. It sure confuses the TSA when they go through the X-ray. Small victories.

I can bring some targets and we can fling some arrows at them.

Beautiful stock Bigredopie,is that quilted maple considered a hard or soft maple. I have built a couple walnut stocks for my Encore but they sure lack the beauty of that stock.

[Southern Comfort]

WOW, that is absolutely gorgeous. The wood reminds me of a turkey call i had custom made out of maple burl. Beautiful bow!

[bubba]

That is truly one of the nicest stocks I've ever seen wow..........
