I need to decide if I want to make a static? Guess it will depend on my recips tastes and uses of their own bows. Im a sucker for statics though!

I dont know but I was drooling over that last static you posted!! Ooo lala!!  :o

Got about 3 yeller sticks chased and standing at parade rest waiting for the bite of my hatchet and draw knife. Wish I was confident enough to give my recipient the benefit of some different wood choices, but hedge will have to do.   ::)

I have two bows to finish, before I can start the trade bow.  But I am feeling motivated.  This trade is already generating some awesome energy on the site.

I'm out of the orange King :(
Been chasing rings on a couple of black locust and a mulberry stave and preparing a hackberry which I also have to chase a ring on due
to one stinkin' borer. Also considering my last buckthorn stave which has some issues that might not make it suitable for a trade bow. Doing this so I have some options ready when I draw my recipients name and do my research so I can pick a wood and bow style.
Yeah I feel the energy around this trade, my 1st trade and I'm excited. Gonna be some big fun! ;D

I'm waiting to see who my victim is before I even pick out a wood, waiting on the name sucks but I know how long it takes to get them out, Bub

That cracked me up.  I had those three wood choices in mind also.  I hope my person likes a bright yellow that slowly fades to dark orange.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left
