2017 Bow Swap Thread Signup Thread

inksoup · January 23, 2017, 02:31:00 PM

i have decided to join in this year again. but i do not have proper working shop atm since i have moved to capital city. but promise that i will do my best. (i have to build up some kind of shop anyway)

besides Turkey is in sloppy situation now, and nobody knows what will happen. there is a possiblty that i will not be able to receive any bow. if i sense such a thing i may require the bow shipped to my brother living in USA.

ok: i will be making glass bow (i do not think that i can make any other types in such conditions), recurve, 2 or 3 pieces.
i can have any bow RH. 50-60@28.

i hope this will be good and productive year for all of us in every situations.

I have been giving it a lot of thought and I have too much going on this year to be able to join in. I'm trying to get caught up on the work I'm committed to so that I can de-clutter the house and get it ready to sell in the hope that we find a new one this spring. Hopefully with a proper shop.
Dave.

Your 2 piece bikini? He nuts?

inksoup · January 26, 2017, 02:02:00 PM

hm... i have already ordered black glass strips... FYI :D

OK, I'm in.

Got out with my last two bows which now have at least 200 arrows in them.

Didn't want to commit and let anyone down, so I wanted to have shot my last couple first.

I'll be making something all wood - ipe belly for sure - may involve maple, hickory, bamboo. Not sure yet. #45-50.

Hopefully the recipient will be happy.

As for me, anywhere between #40 and #60 right handed.

I'll be happy with anything that shoots!

Only a few more hours and 17 signed up.

The bow building bit has to be easier than what you've got to do, Kelly!

talkingcabbage is on there twice.

Crittergetter · January 31, 2017, 03:57:00 PM

Kelly, I didn't sign up this year. To many obligations right now

wood carver 2 · January 31, 2017, 04:43:00 PM

Sorry Kelly, I'm not in this year either. Too much on my plate for the next few months.

Kind of looks like last year's sign up ! Lol

Roy from Pa · January 31, 2017, 05:16:00 PM

OH BOY.. LOL

passion for knowledge · January 31, 2017, 06:03:00 PM

Does that mean talkingcabbage is making 2?!

SportHunter · January 31, 2017, 09:35:00 PM

I didn't sign up this year, way too busy to commit. Business way up and have to deal with a commercial property fire claim and remodel etc. I'll jump in next year, good luck all!

mwosborn · January 31, 2017, 11:02:00 PM

Looks like the list is longer than those that posted that they were in? Maybe looking at last years? :confused:

canopyboy · February 01, 2017, 12:41:00 PM

Let me join the chorus of those who are regrettably unable to join the swap this year, but find their name on Kelly's list.

I thought last year's list was longer though. Although both my recipient and my builder are on there. So who besides Kelly really knows?

Horn Chaser · February 01, 2017, 03:10:00 PM

I didn't sign up either this year. I have to many projects going on right now.

KellyG · February 01, 2017, 05:36:00 PM

Sorry I copied the wrong List I will fix it. I just caught it before I logged on.
