Lots of nice bows were cranked out last year, but I'm thinking this year has reached a whole new level.

Well done everyone.

Started my Swap Bow today.

Strung for center line and guides glued on for glue up.





Flipped the tips just a tad.

Got my second takedown in the oven tonight. Hope it come out as pretty as the other one. Lots of good looking bows guys.

HEY STICKS!!!!! You recovered from our road trip yet?

Lots of eye candy already in this thread.  Some really nice work.  It sounds like this was the weekend to blow up bows!  I had one to finish up that was way behind schedule and was just about done yesterday when it blew.  I'm not sure why.  I will have to do a replacement for that one before I start my trade bow.

Although the temps have been warm for a MN winter it's kind of cold to be working outside in a three sided pole shed.  I do the serious cutting stuff out there and then do as much as I can in a section of my basement family room that I was allowed to set aside for my mess.  I really miss my shop from my last house.  Someday I'll have another.

Roy, thanks for posting pictures of your trade bow. You taught me something I never thought of . Those little blocks are great for keeping things in line.
The longer I'm here, the more I learn.
And the bows I see are a constant inspiration.
Dave.

Oh yeah Perry, I was up at daylight sortin yeller wood and started a bow out of a nasty lookin piece.

Spent an hour and a half on the phone with James this morning talking horn bows. I think I'm gonna start learning how to build those next.

[KellyG]

Wild cat that is a good looking bow, congrats Vanillbear.

Please let me know when you ship. Either post here or pm me or Stiks. I just try and track who has shipped.

I am tracking 2 bows received, 2 that can't be shipped just yet and 3 finished.

Great work.

[Stiks-n-Strings]

My bow just needs a coat of satin and a handle wrap and she's ready to mail.

[kennym]
