Little piece of Maple, from some trail pruning forestry had left as part of landscape found it's way into
recycling. Went over the top, using Sparco 107's, tied with Thera, and pouch cut from
my old possibles bag.

Heading out today with my Son so we'll take it along. :)

Thank you Cedar Hunter.

I love looking at the new one's you guys post. I've harvested a few cedar forks lately and
can only hope they'll resemble slightly the ones you chaps post. :)

I like the wrinkles- if you sand them flat it exposes the figuring in the wood- looks really cool

Well I like that one a lot. Really nice finish, and good shape. I just know it'll shoot.

Like what pop shot said, I always struggle with that, do i leave the wrinkles or do i want the wavy grain? I like both.

Actually with this one I went over the top shooting. And the 107 has an extra protective strap so as to not have main band contact with the wood fork top
