LOLOLOL
Well,I guess the cat is outta the bag now. Ya see, Robert Vess's grandfather was the one that REALLY designed the Vess Prop! Yup,,,,good ole GranPappy Vess. He was a true pioneer, and way ahead of his time. Lotta research went in to that prop. What you folks are seeing, was the very first Vess 34B. GrandPappy had to carve it by hand. Used only the finest of woods to. He used Beech Wood, from the Sum Valley.
Yup,,,those props were some good "Sum Beeches" !!!!

And now ya know. You guys thought Robert was sooooooo smart,,,when all he really did was steal his GranPappys Prop recipe

Alright Hank, now you went and gave away all my secrets! Especially my source of wood. Not many people knew about Sum Beech wood, but now the whole world is in on it.

Funny stuff, guys!
