Digital Caveman:
Hello, everyone, I had to sit out this year's trade for lack of time, but I have been following along.
Last year I attempted a few bows for the trade, and ended up sending a hickory board D bow with a diamondback pattern.
Due to a chain of mishaps, the bow I was to have received was burned in a shop fire, and the backup was stolen. After another backup plan didn't materialize (in hindsight I stretched that out way to long), Kidder was kind enough to send me the Bamboo/Yellow heart bow he built as a backup for this year's trade.
It's as light as a feather, with a good strong, smooth draw. The craftsmanship and tiller are first rate.
A huge thank you to Kidder for organizing the trades these past two years, and for ensuring that everyone received a bow in the end!
Swampman:
I haven't posted anything for quite a while. My shoulder problem flared up again and ended up getting a tear repair. That has kept me sidelined most of the summer. I am making good progress on my iron wood bow. I have an even tiller and have about 4 inches to get to the target draw length. It is also looking like I will be in good shape to hit the target weight. This build started as a 67 inch stave but I split a tip on it so it is now a 62 1/2 build. I think it will work out better at that length. I almost set it aside when this happened but after looking it over I decided to move forward with it.
I do have a black locust bow finished but it is a little under weight so I don't want to send that to my recipient.
Hopefully I will get a picture posted soon.
Mafort:
Had to switch to hackberry as my vine maple bow warped and I’ve been fighting to straighten it. So I’m going for a nice hackberry mollegabet/recurve type bow. Should be done extremely soon
