Shipped as of 830 this morning!

Horn Chaser · June 29, 2016, 11:52:00 PM

I don't mind waiting myself.I am trying to find something to ship this recurve in. The pvc pipe won't work for this bow.

mikkekeswick · June 30, 2016, 02:27:00 AM

Horn Cjhaser - If I'm sending a recurve I make a quicky box out of mdf. You just can't trust delivery companies......
I wouldn't mind waiting.

I'm making my first ever three piece for the trade. Riser glued and ready to be cut. New limbs have cured overnight on my new form.
How it's going to turn out......nobody knows! Once I get her strung and see whats going on i'll post some pictures. I'm going to be working on it today so we'll see.

inksoup · June 30, 2016, 06:54:00 AM

no problem for me too... since i will change my posting address late august so i will wait anyway :D

shipping my bow today or tomorrow morning.

Ok, I sent a very nice bow off to my recipient today. Had some family mental health issues plus moving cities and a new job. So got some help this year and ended up with a better bow than I would have done on my own. Hope my recipient likes what I sent. Was determined to get a bow out on time this year.
Thank you to everyone who has participated and supported this swap over the years. It has been a real pleasure to have been in it from the start. I have gotten the Sergio Leonne spectrum over the years, the good the bad and the ugly, however I have treasured all the bows I have received and look forward to the bow I will get this year.
A special thank you again to Kelly for the work he has done and his service to the country. You are a great guy and a credit to your parents.

inksoup · July 01, 2016, 09:07:00 AM

Kelly,

i have shipped the bow a few minutes ago. if you send me a PM i can reply you back the tracking information.

best.

hope the recipent will like the bow.

breazyears · July 01, 2016, 07:19:00 PM

Im ready for glue up in the morning.
Wont be long now.probably shipping it out within a week if all goes well.

mikkekeswick · July 02, 2016, 02:29:00 AM

So I got my new 3 piece shooting....but as always the first set of limbs off new forms were a bit of a guess regarding stack height....83lb limbs are a bit over the desired weight of 55#!
I'll get a new pair glued up tomorrow.

bigbob2 · July 02, 2016, 04:15:00 AM

"83# limbs are a bit over the desired weight-" Been down that road couple times myself Mike,admittedly by a smaller margin but overweight is overweight I guess.Hope your new limbs make the cut!

PZee · July 02, 2016, 10:32:00 AM

Ok, I'm finally making progress on bow no2. This one will be out by the end of July. As I said, the 1st one delaminated at the top fade. Oh well, I think I will prefer this one in any case.

Look forward to seeing all the bows.

wood carver 2 · July 02, 2016, 11:01:00 AM

My plan A bow was over 80# as well. I got it down to 70# and it will go down a bit more, but it was supposed to be a two piece, but it doesn't want to play nice.
Instead of fighting with it, I started plan B. I'll be on it all day today.
Dave.

razorback · July 03, 2016, 09:11:00 AM

Kelly, I'm fine with waiting and will be happy with what ever I am lucky enough to get.

breazyears · July 03, 2016, 06:33:00 PM

Im ok with waiting Kelly.

talkingcabbage · July 04, 2016, 12:18:00 AM

Kelly, I see I'm on the early ship list -- I don't believe that's correct? This isn't my first trade and I've been on time every year. If it is correct, I'm sorry. I'm going to be finishing the bow this week and will be able to ship by next weekend. I've had some setbacks with finishing.

wood carver 2 · July 04, 2016, 05:41:00 PM

X2 for me. If I remember correctly, I have shipped on time in the past.
Dave.

Krasus · July 04, 2016, 10:21:00 PM

According to the usps tracker my recipient will have his by this Thursday
