[Bonetools] Fwd: Re: crossbows and flees

[François Poplin]

I come back with another question for another idea : is there a 
possibility of a (tiny, axial) handle ?
In that very case, the size would be little.

Your's.

Dear Marloes Rijkelijkhuizen,

it's really a pleasure to come back to you after having been visited by 
a Nymph two nights ago. She told me to beg you for the diameter of the 
holes. I ask you also for the diameter of the whole thing : if it's 
something as 4 - 5 cm, the dimension of holes is about 1 cm, which a 
little bit too much for the thing I am thinking of. Please, tell me...

And : what is the context ?

Your's
