That's great, Dan.

I spoke with Chuck tonight.  Were going to get going on this project right away.  I'm going to send some wood to Bodork this week.  We'll go ahead and build a 50 pounder, RH bow for the auction.  We decided it would probably create more interrest to get it done.  Chad

Ok, here is where we are at with this project.
Kenny sent me the glass.  Mike B glued up a riser block.  Chuck D sent me some veneers.  
We are going to wait and build the bow to the winning bidder's specs to be completed sometime mid summer.
Dan, are you still in for arm guard/silencers?
Brad, string/finger tab?

Alright Chad, you have me hooked!  Sounds like I get to shape the grip, laminate the overlays, and final finish.  What is our schedule looking like Chad?
I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables!

Thanks Marty.  As soon as the auction 3 is over and the winner lets me know the poundage, I'll have the bow glued up and sent your way within a couple days.  I put mid summer for a completion date in the auction.

Since this is gonna be completed mid summer How about I throw in a custom Side Stalker Quiver?

Chad let me know so I can get me some leather rounded up.

If you need a few pics of a couple quivers I've built let me know.

sorry guys, havn't checked this in a while. Yeah i'm still in on the arm guard and silencers. Chad is there a particular color scheme of silencers that you think would look good on this? Also what size arm guard?

Sorry I haven't responded earlier.  I was having trouble logging onto Trad Gang.  I plan to glue up the bow as soon as I get back from Comptons.  I will send it to Marty.  
The string and silencers can be sent to Marty.  Everything else, sent to CHAD (the winning bidder.)
Any questions then you can get a hold of me.  Thanks,  Chad

I got some new ideas for a quiver to go with it Chad. I'm gonna fix this one up good. it will be a little different than the ones in the pics of the auction but it will be sweet.

Finger tab is made..something a little different.  Calf hair for the surface, soft, short beaver fur for the back and 10 oz latigo and sinew thread to hold it all together.  It feels pretty good to shoot with it and I am sending it off with the string to include in the bow package.

Brown and cream color would look better.  I am working on the bow now and will post some pictures when the wife gets home.  She loves it when I call her that.  "[dntthnk]"
