Title: Thanks for the bow trades this year!
Post by: JonW on July 26, 2016, 12:01:58 pm
I just want to say thanks to everyone who participated in the three different bow trades this year. Fred has done an awesome job wrangling his trade considering there are many first timers. The invitational trade has really turned out some lookers. Our trade was started with the idea of building established friendships and has accomplished our end in mind. Again, thanks to all participants.

Thank you Jon and everyone who got involved. A special thanks goes out to those who weren't part of the trades and still participated by giving advice and encouragement especially to the new people here.

I'm thrilled with the amount of attention that has been received and am looking forward to seeing the remainder of the bows being built.

I agree, it's been very cool to see all these bows getting built, finished and in the hands of their new owners.

Wahhhh  :'(

With the three different trades going on I think it has resulted in seeing more bows at different levels of skill built then ever before. And Mr. Arnold you have done a fantastic job of heading up your Trade, thank you.

I have to concur.  The trades have been great and yes, Fred did a fantastic job.  That trade was a joy to participate in.  It was like a bunch of building alongs on steroids.  It was a lot of fun.

I have to say thanks to all involved in each of the three bow trades. Fred and Onebowonder, thank you both especially for continuing the tradition of a all inclusive bow trade here on PA. Lots of great bows were produced and distributed. Lots of knowledge was given and received. Well done everyone!  8)

I agree. It's been a great time. This trade has pushed me to out of my comfort zone. I feel much more confident now and will be building like a mad man!  Thank you to everyone.  I love this stuff!

All three bow trades was a pleasure to watch and the amount of beautiful bows made was outstanding! I was glad to be part of it and to lend a hand where I could.

Bottom line I get from the bow trade is like what JonW said in his post a good way to meet people with the same thing in mind.Always good to be be with birds of the same feather.Putting faces together with the forum names.Absolutely no bother and a pleasure to me in making a bow for someone.

Yep...even though they're not over yet, I'd say they were an overwhelmingly positive experience for nearly everyone.  Well done to all!  Josh

It would be cool to have a massive image only thread of all the bows made in the bow trades and put on top like a sticky.  Every year just keep adding to it. It could have all the bows in tje bow trade and the gifts made in the christmas trade too.

Thank you for the excitement of watching all the build-alongs, and for helpful advice given across the trades by many. And in particular thanks to Fred for all of his work and encouragement on the open trade and for enabling thereby, all to participate.
