LOL  canopyboy you could be talking about the person I drew also or me.     I don't post much I mostly read.  I can't find a whole lot more about my person than the specs I was sent.

I'm considering trying to build my first glass bow in the near future but don't think I'd do that for the trade bow.  I try to build something I would like to have but I'm open to most anything as I'm not too experienced in trad bows.  

I love archery and woodworking so building bows seemed like a logical thing to try but I'm really intrigued by some of the beautiful veneers people put under glass and the cool risers so I'll have to try it some day.  I have a lot of woodworking equipment so building a bow hot box would just be another fun project.  My recent retirement should also help a little with more shop time.  

[Troy D. Breeding]

Ralph, you mean I'm already ahead of you.

Glued up the riser block and pulled out the limb material.

Just got to make sure I have the limb bolts and inserts.

I do like takedowns I don't think I have one yet... Weird. I also like natural bias and bows with snake skins. Pretty much anything but a hill style. They hurt my teeth. Lol.

[Troy D. Breeding]

Personally I like all styles of bows as long as they are takedown.

Back when I used to travel alot the one piece I was shooting at that time was nothing but a pain.

After I switched back to the takedown style life became much easier.

Got my name.  Just no materials. lolol  OHHH Kenny I need some glue ol buddy...lolol  I'll PM ya.  AGAIN..

[SportHunter]

Got the name of my next victim. Time to order up some stuff. I think Kenny's going to be busy this year.

[kennym]

I got my name.  No , not my own!

Poor *** *** ** **** ** ******* *  

[goobersan]

The camaraderie here is quite amusing. can't wait to go shopping at  OMC & pick out some woods. Hope ******* likes what I build.

[soy]

Oh the torture ...no name yet,its so close i can feel it ....

[L. Bullington]

Kenny, your victim's got a super-long name! Oh no! is it me? :eek:

[Dmaxshawn]

Wahoo !!! I got my name too.  Oh man now I have to make some decisions and go through my wood pile. Might have to goto my good pile.  

[Goose Gossett]

As long as it shoots where I'm aiming, has sweet copperhead skins, made from a crazy snake bend with about 14 holes, and a Pope and Young whitetail attached at the business end.  I don't ask for much haha    

[bowhntineverythingnh03743]

Goose I can't wait to see what you turn out this year. May have to ask for some help along the way as well. I have a cool snakey american elm I may have a go at... I think with some bolo or such tips and skins it will be a SAWEEET looking creation!!!

[BrushWolf]

Cut out the first option. Just gonna have to sleep on it....

Didn't mean to jump the gun. Just couldn't help myself. Had some free time and thought what else am I to do.

[Troy D. Breeding]

Like I told you Ralph. Your sucking hind T!# tonight. My riser block is already glued together and limb material is on standby. Just needed to know what weight to build.

[talkingcabbage]

oh man, what did I get myself into?!  I'm more nervous than I've ever been!  I think I'm getting cold feet over here.  I have no idea what I'm gonna build!  I'm not even sure I can build a nice bow!  What's a bow?!  

This is probably the part where I learn humility, and patience, huh?
