no problem mate

receieved ! Thanks a lot mate

Haha that's gold!

if anyone has an old bow that just collects webs or do not need I would be happy to buy it , I would prefer a traditional bow , and I can't really afford full price that's why I'm wondering of anyone had an old one

thanks guys

book receieved thanks mate ! , nope I'm at number 7 my dad just didn't knopw
It was coming and it arrived when I was at work :p

Pm sent thanks mate

Could I have a read please ?

wouldn't mind a read , if I could be next please ?

I will buy just one of the small logs you have , if growth rings and bark looks good
you mentioned you want to sell all in one hit , so please get back to me if I could come pick up one
