42 sign ups!
Awsome, waiting on a few PM's and I'll have everybody's info.

I'm gonna start drawing names either sunday or monday as soon as I get a chance and everyone building will have the info they need by Friday maybe sooner.

Kris

alright! i can't wait to get this thing started.

I hear ya,
I'm gonna start getting info sent out today and finish up by friday, probably sooner.

Like I said before, Gonna be good, good, good!

Out of 42 bows entered we got 11 glass bows and 31 wood bows. I can't wait to see the pics start rolling in of everyone building and of everyone when they get their bow. REMEMBER THAT WAS A REQUIREMENT, pics are a must. (unlessyou are absolutely unable too)

I think it will be a great way to get a hands on look at some of the great work we see here and have a little something from the gang on the bowyers bench.

thanks again kris, i love bow swaps.  I know your working hard getting this together.

Im warming up my garage.

picked out a stave and already  drying it.

Here is the wood that I am using for the bow swap. I want to thank Kris for setting this up, this is going to be great!!      

I got about 15 more PM's to send out in the next day or two.

Gonna be great and it's going very smooth so far.
If you get your bow done before the deadline and want to ship early that's fine. Had a few questions about that so I thought I'd clear that up as long as they are shipped by the fist week of july.

I was in the basement looking through staves today. Found a nice osage but I have a few other options too. I'm looking forward to getting back into building bows. Been over a year. I guess I needed a kick in the pants to get me started. Thanks for the kick, Kris!  d;^)

I sent everybody their info for the swap.

If I missed anyone Let me know and I will get it for you.
I double checked and think I got them all.
Kris

I got my info. I'll be starting this weekend !

Got my info and I'm emailing Kenny really soon to get the rest of the materials I need for this one and a few others.  Oh the suspense is going to kill me.

So this thread doesn't get too long and complicated I will start a new thread titled "TG bow trade" to start showing progress and methods used to create out bows. I hope this is OK with everyone else.

Hey Pat B and Stiks

thanks for the hard work organizing this.

Now if only I can make a bow that stays together long enough to ship...

Kris deserves all the credit for this trade. He's doing all the work. I just suggest more work for him to do!  d;^)

I don't need any more work Pat LOL

Thanks for all the appreciation and comments guys but the truth is I couldn't have done it with out all the input and suggestions recieved on the original post.
So thanks to every body!

Pat, That's a good idea for a seperat post on the Progress, Go for it and Thanks.
