Title: my trade bow is here :)
Post by: danny f on November 15, 2013, 03:56:21 pm
well the trade bow finally got here, and it was defo worth the wait, i love everything about it, there is loads of character with it and the handle wrap looks great, the horn overlays and arrow pass are real nice too (cheers PEARL DRUMS :)) the pics dont do this bow justice, i just had enough light to get a few snaps, i will try and get some better pics tommorow and the full draw, thanks paul for a great bow. cant wait to get shooting it. heres a few pics of her.

Crazy to think it was in Chicago a few days ago! What a great osage bow, and Pauly knows how to build 'em right. Enjoy the bow Danny boy!

.   you right there idaho matt i go on a few forums and the people on here are the kindest of all. i still find it hard to believe that people who only know each from posts on a forum pull together to make stuff like this happen. cheers everyone.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. To tell the truth I was very nervous about it and hoped it would live up to expectations of doners.  I'm glad everything is OK after customs. Thanks to everyone that helped out and offered door prizes. Now go get some full draw shots before this mob comes after you  >:D

By the way, the tube it came in is the same tube bubby sent a trade bow to me two Years ago. So that PVC has gone California to Chicago to England. Maybe that tube will make it around the world.

Can I ask what the fade wraps are and how it was done and can I copy it for a bow I'm finishing up this weekend?  Awesome bow.

Post by: paulsemp on November 15, 2013, 11:07:58 pm
Hemp string wrapped tight. Sealed with super glue. Sanded down. Brown leather dye. Tru oil and wax

thanks, I have a takedown sleeve that I want to hide the edges of, and the fades of the bow, and this would be perfect.

Not yet. We owe two bows still. One is inches from shipping and the other can ship where the sun doesnt shine, and Id be glad to help with that. Chris and I are handlng the last person this weekend. So, I guess it kind of is wrapped up.
