Make that 4 in the mail. So we starte with 84 bowyers one dropped out leaving 83. 19 bows received leaving 64 and 4 bows shipped leaving 60. I have 4 marked as completed and not shipped also, so we are moving right along.
Nice bow I would love to see *****'s face when this hits their door step.

Well you can add one more this weekend. HOPEFULLY. My goal is to be shipped this weekend. Ill get together with dvs and try to get some pics up tonight. Were takin the boys to a baseball game and hopefully het a little closer to done.
Got a string twisted uo last night need to shoot it in a little more. Butas it stands its 63 in ntn straight profile osage selfbow with wenge and purpleheart tip overlays gonna use some elkhide I got on the cheap for a skiv handle and came in right at my recipients #age at 29 in.
Dave and I are still awaiting our bows but remain optimistic. Hope everything goes off w/o a hitch and for those of you who are still working keep your head down and don't let your wives(or husband) get in the way of the prize!

And hova I would definitely try and freehand the the centerline. That osage can be hard to read but like it was posted earlier, in the right light it glows like tru glo sights if anyone even remembers what those look like :-D

Hey KellyG, make that another on the way. I got my sent out today...should show up on the West Coast Friday or Saturday !

I'm going to send my person a message, just so it's not sitting on the front porch  

h8non : i did use natural light and a pencil to kind of mark along where i thought the grain was going , but it kind of wanders across the stave. the gizmo actually showed pretty much the same line. there were a few spots that were tricky , but i split the gizmo line , and it pretty much was right near my freehand.

im working tonight on measurements and im just going to mark every 6" and do the width at that point then connect them .


does osage like a flat belly square cross shape or more of a trapped/rounded belly?

hova, I like the rounded belly.

Hey Jess - That's one fine lookin' takedown!  Is it heading to PA?    

Some fine looking bows heading off to their recipients now.

Now it's rocking!! Nice bow Jess-another beauty on the way.

It is good to finally have it in the mail, been adding on to my little bow shop. I found out I certainly ain't no carpenter, but about got it finished up.  Thanks for the kind words.

Here is my swap bow, all ready to be shipped out.  Sure hope xxxxxxxx likes it cause I sure do!  Got off late today and couldnt get to the hardware store before they closed so Ill have to stop tomorrow get get some PVC and send her off on Thursday.

Formerbutcher update you to sent, I bet it want be sitting on a porch for long. Everyone not near the coast line is awaiting the same package now.
Rogers wow is all I got. Just let me know if you don't ship on Thursday I put that as your ship date. If you dont let me know. Ok now things are heating up.
Please keep posting here, but if I don't acknowledge  a sent or received bow someone knock me in the head and point it out. Please.

I got a PM yesterday that one feller is gonna be shipping late possibly.

If any one thinks they may not get shipped on time just let me or Kelly know so we can forward the message to your recipient if it does not ship on time. If your Late shipping just remember we kind of expect that to some degree,(it is bowmaking and stuff happens, LOL) What makes it look bad is no communication so let me or Kelly know.

Great bow you made Caleb. You have talent.

Caleb...   that's a beauty!

Thanks guys yal have made some great ones as well.

Wayne, the veneer is Imbuya Pommele.
