Looking good! Doing that grip would scare me. Mike, you are fearless when it comes to wood. Carry on... Gary

I just heard that in the US only 10% of the young people are fit for military service. Your daughter is already ahead of 90% of her peers. Military training will put her even farther ahead. Congrats! Gary

Bugs is the customer, Mike (agingcrossbower) is the official Excalibur forum stockmaker. Gary

Nice one. Looks like you have just enough room to squeeze one more mount on that wall. Gary

That stock is going to be beautiful. Look at the fiddleback showing in the second pic. I also like your adjustable fence on your drill press. Where did you get it? Are they still available today? Gary

Merry Christmas to all the forum members! Gary

After 3 separate gun seasons here in IL, all of our deer are now nocturnal. Do you blame them? Find a bedding area and get in there about 2 hours before first light and you might see one. Gary

I own a little bit of land but haven't had any problems. If I caught someone hunting on my land that wasn't one of my neighbors I'd call the game warden and have them issued a ticket. The game wardens usually try to talk the land owner out of writing a ticket but if the land owner presses it, the ga...

I don't know about that. I'd take ticks over chiggers any day. At least I can see the ticks. Gary
