OK, you got me good.  Thanks guys, you couldn't have sent me anything better, I already have a project bow underway that's stalled for a lack of sinew, so, no more excuses!  I'm blown away by all your generosity.  Thanks doesn't really cover how I feel, but its all I've got.

Not sure how you found me; you make a heck of a good detective.

Hi Swamp Thang, glad you're still with us, you all had some serious weather to deal with!

I had a little help from DuBois and a certain "Cat" we all know  ;)

Swamp, good to hear you're above water.

OK, here goes, we're about to enter the last week of the month.  Over the weekend I'll be sending out delivery addresses BUT please only dispatch if you are completely happy your victim is finished or very close to finishing.   If you have finished and you haven't posted that you are ready to ship ON THE THREAD, it would be a good idea to fix that as soon as possible.

If your postal address has changed over the summer and you haven't told me, your bow is going to go to the wrong place.

Thanks,
Andrew

I think she's done. Got the grip on today, did a skived leather grip, the racket type, whatever thy are called.  Got it dyed, and on, just need to put a coat of resolene on and some mink oil and it'll be good to send out. I'm pretty stoked to get this to my guy.

The addresses have all been sent out!

If you got the wrong one please tell me and I'll re-send you the correct one.

DO NOT SHIP UNLESS YOU ARE HAPPY YOUR VICTIM IS READY TO ALSO SHIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has been a brilliant trade, so thank you to everyone who has joined in, I am sooo looking forward to the gallery of pictures you-all will be posting when you get your bows!! ;D :D ;) :)

Cut the pipe, I just need to pick up some caps and bubble wrap and it'll be ready to go. It might be getting shipped out in the morning. I just need to attach some silencers to the string. A couple strips of raccoon fluff.
