Kelly, Mine will go out early next week.  I'm stitching on the handle and searching for a camera right now.  I'm sorry for the wait. I'll send you all the info the moment I send it.

Adam

Will do Inuumarue just let me know.
I did get word that another one was shipped today.
They should be posting pics soon of it.

I got word that one more was received. That is 74 out of 81 bows received. we are about 90% complete there are 7 awaiting bows and 1 in the mail. Who is the next one to get theirs. Will the last one who just received his post a pic? Find out this and more  at the not so same time but the same channel.

I'm still watching.

Me too...I am gonna pop a cork and drink a bit when I read 100% COMPLETE!!!!!

Kelly,

Send me a list of the guys that have not shipped, Also let me know who has contacted you.

will do boss

I have received word my guy got his bow, so those of you waiting will, unfortunately, have to keep waiting. No posts or email yet if they cared for it or not so.... I'm hoping they did?

I guess there's always next year's trade.

fish I would not worry they are most likely too busy shooting your bow to post here much.  

Kelly, mine is boxed up and ready to go. If my fiancee can't make it today, I'll take it to the post office tomorrow.  I'll send you the tracking numbers tomorrow and will post the pictures as well.

Adam

Got it! and here are some pictures for you too.  







and full draw



Now for the sad news... after putting 50 arrows through her I noticed a small crack on the upper limb.  No pictures of it yet but I am hoping you all will help me find a solution.  I'm thinking super glue and serving or something like that.  More pics to come.

Thank you so much for the awesome bow Alan It was fun shooting her!

We have 6 people waiting one bows and now none in the mail. Give us an update if you please.

That looks like a really nice bow. I really would hate to see it fail for a crack.

Here is the crack there are three tiny splinters in the shape of > in the picture hard to see but there is a darker color on them.


What do you think? How should I fix this...

Wow that was big sorry that will be deleted Im sure so here it is smaller.  

 

I wonder if you can fix that by placing a thin osage veneer over the area...maybe going an inch or two beyond on either side. Sand it down and retiller it?  I have never tried that but have read something to the effect?

Watch your door steps! Mine is in the mail.  Pictures to follow.
Adam

Thanks for the update Adam
so one bow out and 6 waiting on bows who is the lucky one? 17% chance of it being yours if you are one of the 6.

Well, it took me forever but I'm finally done and shipped. I had a blast and I hope my recipient gets as much satisfaction shooting my bow as I had in making it.  Sticks/ Kelly, thanks for putting up with me and I hope to participate next year, minus all the broken attempts.
Here she is:

None of the money shots turned out, maybe the recipient will have better luck.

The bow is hickory and canarywood about 71" ntn and **# at **". The tips are a linen micarta and canarywood overlay. The strike plate is a copper nickel laminate which I made to add a bit of my personality. Ended up taking the leather handle wrap off as it just didn't look right to me, but to my recipient, you are free to do whatever you like to make the bow yours. The photos don't do justice to the depth and colour of the canarywood but I have to say it's one of the most beautiful woods that has passed through my shop.  Hope you all like it.

boy if that is not a long lean and elegant bow there. So simple yet classy.
