Awesome Chris!!

Matt, that's an awesome "board bow". Well done!

Very nice.

thanks bmorv...
i have sanded the tips by the advice of Roy. maybe i can go further and replace the tips with something thinner.
btw: i always liked bamboo backed bows... thanks for making me one 

Sweet bows guys!!

Just clear coated the bow, it looks amazing. Pictures to follow when it's dry!

Put the first coat of spray on it last night and noticed a spot I missed in the final sanding. I'll go back and sand that spot tonight and get the final coats put on. I've decided to make this one my swap bow, although I was really wanting to keep it for myself. However I want my victim to recieve the best that I have to offer. The original swap bow looks and shoots great I just had a few rookie errors in it that most people wouldn't notice but someone who builds bows would. So I'll keep the original one for myself, and of course build me some more.

Stunning work, gents!

Some real nice looking bows in the swap this year.
Great work everyone.

hi there,


i am still dealing with limbs tillering... it is taking long since i just can work on weekends.
but it seems like i nailed the victims expectations.

as soon as i am happy with tillering i will be shipping it away...

best.

Remind me, please. We need to wait for confirmation from canopyboy before shipping, correct?  Or do we just ship ASAP?

It depends, you only have to wait if you have a first-timer or if you have a late sender from last year.  I would PM him and let him know you're ready to ship and then see what he says.

Dannon that is awesome.

Yosemite, sent you a PM. But Evildog is right. I should have told you if need to wait for an ok when I sent you your original info.

As a secondary note, if you're a newbie or late shipper who is packed and ready to ship, I need to know so I can tell your bowyer who may or may not be holding your bow.

Thanks Roy! I think I'm getting the hang of this bow building thing!

Yes you are..

Clear coated and crate made, just have to wait until Monday for the Post Office to open so I can mail her off.  Made the crate as bomb-proof as possible to survive our wonderful military postal employees....

Finished up and waiting to get the go ahead on this one. Until then, I'll just keep enjoying shooting it!

Two good looking bows, Brothers...  Dannon...  I like those accents...  I been wanting some Osage for a while...  I am gonna post a thread...

Some good look'n bows getting finished up!
