on the other hand,

1. i have mulberry stave that i have already started for building. maybe this can be in?

so admins, please consider all before you count me in.

best.

[KellyG]

Inksoup, either you want in or you don't. I have only built one bow myself. If you post your bow on here as you build it you will get help.

This was founded by Stiks to get new bowyers involved with more talented and experienced ones.

As in last year if any one does not want to ship out of the US/Canada area just shoot me a PM and it wont happen.

We did learn last year a take down is must of over seas to keep it keep the cost down.

inksoup we had a bow got to Europe and Africa last year.

so if you want to enter just post your draw weight, lengths and if you are right and left hand here.

Got some sweet shooting bows from the last two bow swaps so of course I'll join in again this year. I shoot right handed, any thing in the 45-60# range will work-prefer glass. I'll be building a glass bow... Could be a longbow,snubnose or recurve....

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Ink,
Kelly said it, we can set it up for a TD to come your way. I sent my first shooter to swissbow in switzerland for about 50.00. I don't think it will be much more to turkey but I will find out for sure.

Looks like another great event in the making!  

[fish n chicks]

Man, I shake my head doing this with the tough time I had last swap, but.....

I'm freakin in! I'm not sure what I'll be making, but it'll most likely be made of wood, and shoot arrows. It may also have a string!

If my bowyer can get within the range 0f 45-55#'s, right handed. I certainly have no preference as to what kind of bow, so long as it's not from someone who's had me before. I've already got 2 gorgeous bows from these gentleman, it's only fair to share the talent with others.

Let the shavings fly!

[broketooth]

who you callin a gentleman, fish? lol

[Roy from Pa]

Glad yer in fish.. We needed someone to make fun of this year, besides Kelly:) LOL, just kidden dude..

[DVSHUNTER]

Kate took it well last year. Fish seems like just the guy we are looking for.

[Living_waters]

Im in, probably make a selfbow maybe a bilam.

Im easy anything right handed 27" in the 40 to 90lb range.

[Roy from Pa]

Yup and rumor has it, Fish is into Raspberry Ale:)

[KellyG]

well we are up to 50 as long as that was Joe's way of saying he is in this year also.

[razorback]

Kelly your toes must be getting cold, hanging out keeping track of this bunch of larikins. I just hope the banter that kicked up towards the end of last/this years swap and has continued here continues. It has been a lot of fun to read and join in on.

             

P.S. Still got a cherry stave drying for you and will send it on once I have time to reduce it to a mailing size.

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Kelly I think Joe told me he was sitting this one out but we might be able to talk him into it        

Merry Christmas Joe and to all the rest here on the bench.

Fish, if I'm in this year then you better not back out. 'tween the two of us our luck has got to be better this year   ;)a few of us had a rough go last year for sure.

[soopernate]

Raspberry Ale is an acquired taste.  I am secure in my manhood...hell I might make up a few pink fletched arrows to go with my 42 pound bow and then use em to shoot holes in something. Its usually sad to pass a torch but fish could probably make a good whipping boy...Probably shouldnt give him Raspberry Ale yet though...give him some weak doe pee like stuff such as PBR or Coors Light or something else that bottlers would throw out if it wasnt for cheapskates who drink the nasty stuff....bleck,
