Hey Stiks I call false start!!!    

[Stiks-n-Strings]

 False start! I need all the jump I can get after the run I had last swap.

[StoneAK]

I have an array of exotics laying in the shop I am brainstorming the design of the build and then awaiting the Name to customize the whole build!

[eagleone]

Anybody got a copy of "the traveling caul" that was floating around last year?

[Keenan]

False start!!!   :eek:   put the wood down and step back five paces,  

[D]

No kidding false start. lolol  I'm afraid to get it dun this early.  I'll form a relationship with it and not want to ship it off if I get to spend too much time with her. lol  Actually I hope what I end up building will be the best bow I've ever dun, something that ********* will be proud to carry into the woods with them.  Sorry I just had to get a sentence with ***'s in it, I was feeling left out. lol  Have a goodun everybody

[Pete W]

Got my guys name and I am delighted to be oficialy in. He wants what I like to make for myself, so i feel confident I can come up with a shooter.
Staves dry are ready to go, just a matter of deciding the type of wood, Thinking about some  
Hop- Hornbeam,and the design for it., Holmgard? Molegabet? Pyramid with a shelf and handle ? some reflex? flip the tips a bit? Osage? Ash?

And the finish to use, Tru oil of course but I had real good luck with a spray last year too. Hmmmm.
can't wait to start, Tonight I will pick a stave and do some layout I think.
Pete

Which end of the fish would he blow on? I don't know anything about elk hunting.  

[Dmaxshawn]

Ok sorry I had to fix some things I have finished drawing names now I will start PMing all with there names sorry for the delay but splitting up the sheet this year caused some issues I had to fix.

20 of you I dont know who you are building for or building for you so if stiks sent you the names he knows all other are on my sheet.

Oh ******* I got your name from stiks I think I have a plan for you bow.

[mwirwicki]

Does everybody hear the Jeopardy theme going...

[D]

lolololol I've got til the end of June to build a good bow but its funny I've checked like ten time in the last thirty minutes to see I've got my name yet. lolol

[DVSHUNTER]

If who ever drew my name can pm me so i can ask you a few questions that would be just great.

[kennym]

I heard ***** has DVS's name  

[wood carver 2]

Stiks isn't the only one who got an early start. I have one partly tillered and I just pulled another one out of the clamps this afternoon. It's a hickory, walnut tri lam. I got it roughed in to shape and rough sanded. It looks good. Now I'll leave it a day or two to settle in before starting to tiller it. I'll post pictures as soon as possible.
I'm going to glue up at least one or two more blanks so I can ship the best one possible to *****.
This way I should also end up with a nice new bow for myself when I go down to Ohio for turkey season in April.

I started on three of them about a month ago and left them heavy. After the luck I had last year I figured I better get going early.

I meant for next year....

Yeah, I plan to get started earlier this year as well, but I just can't bring myself to even start designing it in my head before I know who it's for.

(Of course, now that part is taken care of and I have no excuses...)

Guess I'll just try to figure out what tree to cut down tonight by a full moon with a glass of bourbon to keep me company in the newly fallen snow.  Figure it'll be good mojo.

[Tyler Langston]

cant wait to get my name still waiting. This is my first time doing this and i can already tell im not going to sleep at nights lol
Hey kennym, i ordered some veneers from you a while back and made 2 good looking bows out of them i forgot they were .o50 so the first bow i glued up come to 71@28 and i was shooting for 50@28 whoops lol
