Almost ready to go just have to serve the string. 63'' tip to tip carp backed osage. the tips are a little stiff due to the knots I think.

That is a very cool looking bow. The grain of the wood and the carp skins give it lots of character.  I really like that bow.

I received an awesome bow from DGF yesterday, at the moment I'm sick as dog (a really sick dog),so it may be a day or two before I get pics up. Thanks buddy.

I think the big thank you goes to everyone who has put forth so much effort to build their very best, to dress it as well as possible, and ship as quick as possible.  There are some really sharp competitors for BOM here!

Oooola la boys, take a look at my new bushboy special

58# @ 28" osage orange
Kingwood tips and arrow rest
horse hide wrap
FF string
I LOVE this bow right now! Raining here in NY today so I set a target outside the main entrance door and shot a few arrows through (dont tell my girl as shooting bows in the house has been outlawed due to a certain mishap... or two  :laugh: ). I feel a great appreciation towards everyone here who has done their best and for Jordan and JW. Guys had a lot on your plate with this bow trade and did a great job. Big thanks to Rob for the gorgeous bow and to Auggie for accepting my bent stick as a trade bow! Cant wait to do this again!!!

 8) That's a looker fore sure. Congratulations NM and excellent job bushboy.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Updated the list on page one.  If anyone sees something inaccurate, please contact JW_Halverson or BOWMAN53.

Everyone that has not shipped has been heard from lately, that's great news. Things are shaping up nicely and I want to personally thank all who have worked so hard to make sure things go smoothly.  For those that have not shipped, I am putting on my stern face. 

Again, thanks everyone!

Thanks for the update, TradeRunner.  I know sometimes the people running these trades feel like they are just talking to themselves when they ask for updates and progress reports.   >:D
