2016 Bow Swap

[Horn Chaser]

Since I couldn't find a tube to ship my trade bow I built a crate for the bow to ship in.  Just hope my victim has a crowbar to get the bow out.    I will be shipping the bow out tomorrow to my victim. C

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to whittle my way into any box containing a bow from anyone on this site. Can't wait to see what I end up with, though I know I have to.

[Horn Chaser]

I am officially shipped!!! My victim should have a delivery on Monday if the delivery date is right.I just hope my victim likes this design I have been working on.

Ahh I do agree. If you venture to page 19 of this thread you shall find that which you seek!!!

Ground down some moose antler for overlays today. I'll be cutting it close but should come in just under the wire!

[canopyboy]

Ahh, the thread is coming alive!

Mine is done.       I twisted up a string for it this afternoon. I just need to get the packaging ready and I can ship, as soon as Kelly gives me the go ahead. Of course, I'll shoot it a bunch and show it off a bit first.
Dave.

Thanks Tom. that's one worth waiting for.  I'd be happy to give it a good home and put it to work this fall.

[Horn Chaser]

I just checked the tracking on the bow and it looks like it is waiting at my victims door today.

You must have put the wrong address I didn't see it outside my door

I feel like I just hit the lottery, this sweet bow showed up today unexpectedly. Tom, you build a fine bow my friend, really love this one! THANK YOU!!!

Spent some time in the shop this afternoon, I might just come to close to the deadline after all. Of course, cutting this perfectly good bow in half was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in the shop. Dear ******, here's your bow:

 

 

I just hope the band-aid holds:

 

[Horn Chaser]

Glad you like it Sport. It is only the second bow I have made on that design I drew out. If you see anything you think I should change let me know.
Canopy can't wait to see how that takedown comes along I want to try that on a bow myself sometime but haven't had the guts to do it yet.

[frank bullitt]

Pretty 'curve you built,  Mr Horn!      

Good shooting too ya Sporthunter!

[fujimo]

very cool shape there, horn man! awesome execution too          
watching your take down David- i really want to do one of those-if i ever get back to my bow shop again!!! did you profile the limbs before the cut- or will you do that after the handle is done?

[canopyboy]

Wayne -- I've been wanting to this myself for a long time. If it wasn't for this swap and my streak of trying something new with each swap I'd still be waiting. Now I can't wait to start one for me. As for the limbs, it was roughed out and floor tillered months ago. There's still about 10# to come off for final string alignment, etc. Things looked good this morning. Hope to get back to the shop this evening and have it shooting before bed. Then the big test -- will it come apart?

[canopyboy]

Oh, and Paul: that is a fine looking bow. You did just fine on the receiving end of this swap, Tom is a heck of bowyer it looks like. That thing has a clean, simple beauty that I really enjoy looking at over and over.
