How much meat to that much marinade Steve?

Seeing this makes me happy, if someone else is trying out a jarrah bow and has got it this far, I'm gonna go buy a stick Eventually... when I get around to it...

This was just a funny statement, in truth, ther needn't be any explaining, the title says the topic, and the post contains the message. I was simply stating how I wanted to die, albeit it was intended as a joke, I do not particularly want to crasha perfectly good car as a way of dying.

Ok, thanks fir clarifying that for me rod.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, not kicking and screaming like the passengers in his car.

How did you get it to hang horizontally? Thats a bit of magic right there...

Jokes, I know the pictures flipped.

What exactly is it for though? Excuse my noobish question. I assume its for unfinished arrows?

Okay, thanks for the input, I havn't got around to ordering a 'The Bent Stick' yet though, so I may have to wait, I'm not too sure as too what exactly to do :D And there's no rush tog et the timber, its been the exact same supplier of hat timber for years, my dad and I built a lovely outdoor bartop ...

Oh, I wasn't worried about the price, I'm impatient

Ok, thanks again, I will get onto buying that book ASAP, looks pretty cheap, just have to find one in Aus

Thanks! Didn't expect such an in depth and helpful reply so quick! Bodes well for the future!

WIN!

So, the title says pretty much all of it :p, but I'm John, and I like the primitive weapons such as the sling and bow(not to offend anyone with the choice of wording ;D).
