2014 Annual Bow Swap

[KellyG]

Wow some very nice bows coming together. Self bow push is really going on after that glass bow blizt. Great work all. I am still behind, with 12" of snow falling on top of the 3 we had. My shop is snowed in. Oh and my leg still being in a cast up to my hip no bow being made here  :(

Thanks for all the hard work yall are putting out. There well be bows in the mail soon.

Let me know when they go out so I can mark you as shipped. tracking numbers are highly suggested. If you are on the hold list and give me a tracking number I will move you to the go ahead and ship list.

Wow some great work.

Nice Trux...

[Echatham]

nice stuff happening here.  John I really like that dark streak.  I can definitely see my name fitting under them smudges too!   my bow is just about floor tillered and i just made the first heat corrections to get the tips lined up.  got a little twist to take out but nothing major.  Stave # 2 had a drying check that i thought i got out with the layout, but it showed its self on the belly about 1/4" from the edge.  i chiseled it off and theres still a bow there, just gonna be a little narrower... probably 1 1/4".  no big deal.

Beautiful bow Trux! that leopardwood really stands out!

[heartlandbowyer]

Sweet Trux... Let the anxiety attacks start.    

Can you shoot low stretch string with the horn?

[kennym]

Cory, here is the proper question...  

Can I shoot low stretch string with the horn?

I as in coming to MO!   :D

[KellyG]

Well I got a PM that a bow was shipped today and it was not that beauty that trux made. That gives everyone a 1.6% chance of having a new bow to shoot as early as this weekend. Poor mailmen they are really going to be stalked now.  

[KellyG]

Oh and there are pics of it on here.

I hope you can that's what's on it going out plus it's got some clear glass underneath the horn...
Thanks all

[heartlandbowyer]

Good one Kenny that is the right question.    

Trux, sounds great hadn't had any experience with horn, maybe shortly that will change.   :D

[Dmaxshawn]

Awesome David.  Please be headed my way

[kennym]

I'm bettin someone will be mighty happy with that one!!      

[wood carver 2]

Beautiful bow Trux.
I just finished gluing up a trial bow. If it works out, I know what I'm building for my swapper.

WOW trux....      

[halfseminole]

My trial bow's about half glued up.  Already taught me I'm bloody well not using that many splices in my trade bow.  My expectation is that it will come apart in my face, wasting ll the wood that went into it.  Ergo, I'm tweaking drawings and construction methods for the next one.

[tradbower]

A picture of my trade bow, it's 62" NTN 52@28 I have been shooting it in but I draw only 25" had a friend, who draws 27" shoot it for awhile and it looks like it throws a arra with authority.

Its a tri lam bow with raw boo on the back ,a center of Brazilin Cherry, with a belly of Osage. The tips have Deer Antler overlays . If all goes well I should be shipping next week, hope xxxxxxk# likes it. All the bows being made for this years swap are outstanding, there are some very talented people here on Trad Gang.
