Congrats, Fish! Sounds like you've been busy in more ways than one!LOL
That's a nice bow, BK. That draw was smooth and recovery looked crisp.

NTD I got you marked as shipped.
Dan got you as received. there are 2 in the mail we are 83% complete and one of our long lost bowyers have returned. 12 are still waiting on bows, and 69 have been received.

Well, I'm trying to post pictures but photobucket won't let me copy them. I've never had this trouble before. Is anyone else having this problem?

Bona

Yes, I've had that problem a couple of times lately too. I restarted my computer and then it worked again. Hope that works for you too.

Thanks vanillabear?.

I shut down my computer everytime I'm done using it because of a problem with the fan. Maybe a HARD boot is in order!

I'll give it a try.

Here are the pics of the beautiful bow that I received from Vanilla Bear.  Who ever coined the phrase good things come in small packages knew what they were talking about, Have a look, she's 58" NTN.

The group was shot at ten yards.

  Great looking sticking Dan but no pics over  640 pixels

Well...that didn't work!    

Can I delete all these myself?
(wiping tears)

Bona

Yes I can. Well there's a tease for ya!

Dan, that is one gorgeous bow! Nice job vanillabear?!

Bona

Nice bow, Dan, vanillabear did you proud.
B, the one pic I saw looked good. I've had problems with photobucket myself, but I think the problem is me mostly...

Here's a few, I think.

Dan nice bow, and great work vanillabear,
Bona I like what I see so far. I know ***** is glad they are still waiting now.

Python skin, ostrich leather, "zebra"wood, and "tiger"eye. With the gemsbok horn belly that is the African theme behind this bow.

I would have put waterbuffalo horn on the tips but there was already elk antler there and I just couldn't grind that pretty anlter down.

Bona

That is a pretty combo you got going on there B.

That's a beauty Bona!
I missed so many deadlines I gave myself I didn't even dare post them here anymore. But now the bow is done. I'm happy with it (after two failures) and hope the recipient will be too. Will post pictures soon and will ship it Monday. I was going to ship today but decided to order a better string than the generic 12 strand I had.
Boy, does it feel good!

Nice looking bow Bona!

That's a beauty, B. My wife needs that in her classroom as a "multicultural" work of art. Well done.

I have talked to NTD and he has shipped and is not banned. Just wanted to let everyone know he is in good standing.

Your bow looks great, Bona. Really a nice bunch of materials you're using on it.

Glad to hear that NTD isn't banned. I knew he would pull through. Hope everything is OK, Nate.

Thanks everybody! I will ship on Monday. It does feel good.

I want to thank my recipient for thier (Kris and Kelly's too) patientence. I ended up with a bow that I feel is worthy of the swap. I'm confident I will be more timely next year.
