Bow build and swap (just keeping track of bows here)

[Boswell]

Allright guys, Im in.
Im right handed shoot 27 inches 50-60lbs, if ya miss low a few pounds its ok!
Don't matter what type of bow I get. Im gonna build a self bow. Probly of osage maybe a odd wood though.

One note, Can not TRADE with longbowhunter. We work out of the same shop.....that would be no fun.

Thanks for letting me play,
Bobby Boswell

OK... you talked me into it.

Right handed 50-60lbs at 26in.
Like scottm said will shoot anything.

I will be making a selfbow out of osage.
Ready to get started.

The only thing is CAN NOT TRADE WITH...."BOSWELL"
I've seen his bows and NO THANKS. HaHa
Nah we work off the same vice about half the time so that wouldn't work out to well for us.

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Boswell and Longbowhntr...
Got it. I'll make sure you guys don't geteachothers bows, although it would save you on shipping. LOL

[bigcountry]

Wish I was confident enough to be in.  Don't see anyone desiring a 38lb bow at 28" which is my speciality. Maybe next year.  You guys have a great time and I can't wait to see how it turns out.    

This is a great idea.

I wish I was better at this Bow Building because I would have liked to get in on this as well.  My bows are no way near the standard to be sending out to people.  Hopefully next year or so someone will do another of these and I will be able to participate. Good luck all

[tradbower]

Please add me to the list, I am right handed  48#to50#@27or 28
I will be building a Boo backed bow using Brazillan Cherry (Jabota) for main lamiination, not sure just yet, what  to use in riser. If possible try not to pare myself and Ranger 3 .We are neighbors, and help each other out with bows.
              Thanks Pete

[Stiks-n-Strings]

We just might do it next year. Looks like we are having a pretty good turn out right now.

If not every year maybe every two years.

[Dmaxshawn]

When do I get to find out who I drew?  Man I'm ready to get started.  

Shawn

[Stiks-n-Strings]

I posted at the beginning of the sign up that I would draw in two weeks.
I know what you mean Shawn I'm kinda anxious to find out who get's who. I will shut down the sign up next saturday and then start sending PM's and emails.
I'll have to get each participants address and get everthing sorted out so everybody know's what draw length and poundage to build and who to ship to when the bow is done.

I'm one of the newbies and not good enough to share my attmepts yet.  This sounds like lots of fun!  Lots of pics!  Please!

[Bone lake]

OK I'm in. My son and I will build a glass hybred longbow out of local WI. woods ( maple, walnut, red elm, ect.) Shoot righty, 50-55, sounds like fun. Great idea Stiks.

[Brian Halbleib]

Count me in. I shoot right handed, 50-55# @ 28" would be fine. I will build a 3-piece take down glass longbow.

[formerbutcher]

This sounds like fun. Count me in! I shoot Right handed anything 45-55#'s @ 27-28" would be great !

I will build a selfbow.

John

[b.glass]

I want to do this too! My biggest problem is that I don't have a heated place to work in and this is the coldest, snowiest Febuary I can remember. I'll do my best though!

I will be making a bamboo backed hickory or osage.

I would like a 50ish pounder at 26 inches. Right handed.

Kris this is mighty awesome of you to do. Can't wait to get started!

[Pat B]

Bona, Bows don't have to be built and shipped until July 4th.

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Yeah Bona, Like Pat said we stretched this out to give everybody ample time to build a bow for the trade so that we could get as much participation as possible. Alot of busy folks who need it.
 
I'm like you I don't have a heated garage so when ever I work on one this time of year it's very little. Glad to see you are in though we've got a plenty signin up, actually alot more than I thought it would be. This needs to become an anual or at at least bi-anual event.

I am going to start gathering info such as addresses and the sort tonight through PM's. I will contact every one who is in from now until saturday and shut the listing down on saturday and start sending info to who your build is for and the specs on sunday or monday.
Kris

[Stiks-n-Strings]

PM'ed every one on first two pages of post.

I will get he rest by saturday.

[bowur]

Im in, I shoot 45-60# @ 29" right handed. I will be building either a HBI or a plain hickory. Just wondering how you ship your bows, can you get boxes from the US postal service??

[ranger 3]

I get a carpet tube from Menard's or anywhere they sell carpet, they are free
