Think I have my plan B where it needs to be. It's from a yew board I got from Wizardgoat. Thanks Ryan!  1" at the widest 63" t2t 45# @? And is hitting straight and hard. About 1" of string follow.  Going to shot it some more and keep my fingers crossed that it holds together. What do y'all think?

Looks good,  I think the right limb is a little stiffer in the outer third than the left is. JMHO

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

Man, some good looking bows being worked up.

Jeff, love what you did with that yew stave. Anyone would be elated to get that bow.

Stix, fantastic job.

Let me know when you guys are ready to ship. No rush as we still have 3 months remaining. I'm going to get back to mine this weekend.
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.

I haven't done much work on bows lately but I had a little finish work to do on my trade bow.  I put a leather handle wrap on tonight.  All I have left is to sign the bow.  It is essentially ready to go.  Here is a sneak peek of it dressed up.

Now that's a bow sir  8) 8) 8)  One more fine example of everyone's hard work so far, I'd be proud to own any one of the bows posted up.

Lovin' all of the progress pics. I've been following this thread but haven't made any progress. I've been busy studying for finals and other school stuff.
The good thing - School is DONE next week, which means I can finally get this bow done! I'm sure I will be needing help so get ready. Haha

Swampman, I know that superb bow isn't heading to my address but just in case you decide to make another one you can send that one to me.

Want you guys to know that I think you're all doing a fantastic job of keeping this trade on track and going strong. The only thing I did was organized the list. The rest of you are the ones making this one of the best trades ever. Thank You all!!!
