I'm curious to see what you make out of that stick Pat.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Looking great Pat. I had a shot at a great buck that jumped the string on me this year with the bow you made. Still shooting great with well over 1000 arrows through it. Can't wait to see what you come up with

Cool Matt. Love hearing about my offspring. Maybe next time.
 Like I said, she'll make weight, Clint. Wish me luck.   ;)

Thanks to Wizard, Mullet, and Drums, for heading this up. Looking forward to seeing all of the beautiful bows that come of it.  :)

I would be happy to throw some money into the international shipping hat.

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Thanks. With this group I don't think it will be too much work. Wiz's is the guiding light.

I bet we will have time to draw names twice before July comes :)
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

I got mine roughed out, chaised a ring on one for a backup but by the time i got a good ring it was a little narrow for what i wanted, but it will make a great stave for the bow my grandson asked to build

Here's what I have started. A nice piece of Osage and a Vine Maple take-down for a back up.

Got my first victim all laid out and ready to cut some  string nocks, was going to do that yesterday evening but got side tracked by the big storm that rolled through TN. Yesterday.
Hope to get it on the long string today. :-\  Nice piece of Osage cut in 2002 roughed out in 2008 so it is well seasoned. ;) Pictures later. :)

I haven't done any work on my trade bow lately.  The weather has been warm so I've been doing outside work.

I'm finishing up a vine maple bow for Art. Once that's finished I'm going to get to work on this trade bow. I still haven't decided what to make yet.

Exactly my point guys. I would be glad to help donate to the shipper and to Simon to get Bows across the pond

As usual, am late on the take up ...... but for sure will help out on the shipping!
