2022 Bow Trade - complete
Kidder:
Great work guys! Can I get an update on who is ready to ship - I know I’m done as is flntknp17, mocooncatcher, and Superdav95. Is anyone else ready? Hold off until given the green light as well guys.
Swampman:
I am not ready to ship. My shoulder issue kept me sidelined a while longer but after a bunch of physical therapy my shoulder is probably back to 85%.
I have been having troubles getting my black locust stave tips to line up. I set that aside and am working on my plan b which is iron wood. Tillering is coming along uneventful so far. I still plan to tackle that black locust but will get the iron finished first.
Mafort:
Hey guys long time no see. I have been MIA. I’m ok just between trying to pay medical bills from the car wreck and then catching covid and then taking care of my niece who caught it I’ve had my hands full. I’ve got my vine maple pyramid bow all shaped and the limb profile is shaped. Hoping to tiller it Sunday and do final sanding on Monday gotta get through the 6 inches of natural reflex it has coming straight off the handle area. After Monday I plan on getting it decorated and the leather wrap put on the handle and then hopefully it will pass muster with all of your awesome creations. Again I’m really sorry I haven’t been as active. Had covid a few times before this last bout but this was different.
superdav95:
Take it a day at a time brother. Glad to hear your getting back in the shop. Hope you stay well. Cheers.

Been able to spend some time in the shop. Done some heat shaping but it’s still twisting hard on the tree. Will do some more heat treating once it’s at brace height. Got the tips moving a few inches, still got some stiff areas to work on a little bit. Still a long way over weight, still not bending enough to burst off the bark but it’s getting there.
Currently the stave has a couple of inches of reflex, tips are now drawing to 3"
