Title: Number 500
Post by: West Augusta on November 23, 2013, 01:44:13 PM
Been a long time getting here and never in my wildest dreams did I expect to get to this milestone.
The past few months I was trying to figure out something special for this one.  Lack of time, cold weather and hunting season kept me from doing anything out of the ordinary so I just pulled the best looking stick out of my stockpile for number 500.
I have to thank a lot of you for the support in getting here. 

Here is my 500th striker.  Macassar Ebony.  I plan on using this one next spring.

Most call makers try to avoid turning even one striker and you've turned 500. *aah* Not even sure how many I've done. Congrats Steve and many more to come I hope.
