2007 St Judes Auction Bow.... Stay tuned

[AZStickman]

Well guys ...... Times getting a bit close anyone up for doing another auction bow this year.... We've had some great ones in years past and the cause is more worthy than any other I can think of......we'll need a couple of bowyers to help out    :D  A string,bow sock, and maybe some arrows and a quiver would round out the package nicely....Any takers???....... Terry

[John Scifres]

I'll do whatever needs done.  Just tell me.

I have a brand new Razorback Leather Raptor Style quiver I planned on donating that I would be more than glad to give you for it Terry.

[AZStickman]

Great start......since we really are short on time we will probably need to do the readers digest condensed version of the bow build this year....... John...... Do you have a stave you could get down to floor tiller...... any volunteers for final tiller and finish work...... David consider your quiver part of the package......if you could get me a picture of it I can use it to post when the auction forum for this year is activated...... Terry

[vermonster13]

It should be in your e-mail anytime now.

[snakewood3]

I will donate a pair of copperhead or canebreak skins to be used on the bow.

[AZStickman]

Excellent Charles.... When we get a volunteer for the finish work we'll have you send the skins to them...... Here's where we sit

Here's a pic of one of the previous Tradgang collaborations just to give the potential bidders a taste of what has been made in the past....   Mojoe II  Maybe Bobby and some of the other successful bidders could share a pic or two of their bows.......

I'll get the string/silencers/sealskin (strike plate and rug rest).  Just let me know the details and where to send it.

Terry, I would like to make up a nice set of wood arrows.  Let me know what you would like!

[Shell]

Hey Terry,  I will offer an unstrung leather bowcase for the bow. It will be made in time for the auction or the time you require it. It will be in whitetail skin in a darker shade like smoke or cognac color without fringe.

Thanks!

[McGeeM]

What spine arrow are you looking for? I have some ash shafts that I can give you, they will need a little work to make straight. I think the spine is 60-65.

I would do the finish on a bow if another is made, I did one last year. It was fun.

[AZStickman]

Thanks Brian and Eric..... Looks like both those slots are filled but like Brian says if we get the volunteers together we'll start another project and plug you in........

Eric..... You do a fine job of tillering you wouldn't happen be willing to handle the final tiller would you??....... Terry

[Dano]

I'll bid on it till the cows come home  :D  , That's about all the time I'll have to help out this year.

[AZStickman]
