Ok my computer decided to update itself right in the middle of me putting pics up..Thanks again Bob its great...I wish I had time to run out and shoot it but I am very late already.  I can't thank you enough..

Thanks everybody for the kind words and compliments on the bow I'm doing...but I'm headed out the door...I'll talk to everybody on the 20th...Oh one more thing bob...tomorrow is my birthday so thanks for the SWEET birthday present...even better timing...lol Later everybody..

Thad and D those bows look great and i bet they shoot as good as they look. This is my first year doing the Swap and I am absolutely amazed by the workmanship being displayed.

Thanks for all the nice words guys!  I thought about the finish all day at work and came home and sanded all 3 coats of the thunderbird off.  I thought I would be shipping this weekend but ********* will have to wait a little longer.

Great looking bows all the way around guys!  

congrats d on receiving your bow. I can mark that one off my list now.

I was hoping bb2 was bluffing and that sweetheart was Minnesota bound  

sorry Soy.  :dunno:still working on that other matter, might know something in couple weeks.      

Nice work Guys.  D I love the look and the profile of that bow.

The skin was from a friend who found it with his jeep tire.  To make it work it needed to be cut in half but it was skinny on both ends so it wouldn't have covered a whole limb.  I like that it didn't cover up the knot and with the seasoned back it blends in well in my opinion.  I've shot it a couple of times after putting the skins on and it will put a 490 grain arrow where I'm looking at 15 yards.  About 250 shots through it and i'm thinking it's time to finish it up.  Maybe I'll bring it to OJAM and possibly just give it to my recipient if he is attending.  

Well, I just got home to see this on my door step!
 
I could not wait to put her together and get a couple of arrow out!
 
Jim Rocole, I love the wood combo in the riser, and the lams are amazing! This bow draws very smooth!
 

Thanks Jim!

  Congrats Thad!  Great looking bow Jim.

I'm hoping my recipient gets his bow soon, or me and USPS will have some problems.

Here is some progress...

Beginning tiller out to 21"...
Still have a bit to go...

Glad you like it Thad. Thank Troy Breeding for the lams I thought they went really well with the riser.

still in awe.....great job guys    

Nice bows guys!  I've got a new set of lams ground and ready.  Need to get some glass from Kenny and get the riser glued up and cut out.  Not sure how much work I'll get to do since I'm on nights this weekend, but should be able to have Take II glued up by next weekend, then maybe done and shipped a couple weeks after that.

Gaining on my bow slowly. Got it floor tillered and started to shape it more and more. Still want to dress it up some but don't really know how I am gonna do this so far. Time will tell when I get it further along and to brace height. Probably have that all done by Tuesday or so. I haven't seen hide nor hair of many people yet... where is everyone else at?

I will get some pictures up soon!

Great looking bows fellas!!

Had some time to work yesterday afternoon and got my recipient's bow tillered out to 20".  I'll try to snap some pics soon and get them up. I also am about done with the finish work on the mock up I made.  Didn't want the fella who drew me to think I'd gone off the map.

Wow some great bows built, sent and recieved!!!!

Great work guys!!!!

Mark me as shipped. Should be there by Tuesday.
