Great looking bow there Dave and you deserved a nice one like that after the beauty you built for me.

Well done Mike    

By the way Mike - That bow my daughter was shooting in my pic from yesterday was one of your pups.  Not sure if you remember, but you sent me a roughed out blank for it that I finished in the summer of 2010.  She's gettin' pretty good with it.

Well here is some interesting data on the TG Bow Swap . Page 120 was hit last year on July 7th (the last day to ship). At this rate we are going to be much longer than last years, and that is if everyone shipps on time. Great bows everyone an keep up the good work !

[SportHunter]

Kelly, just curious, how many have been received & how many to go?

[KellyG]

Ok there is currently 92 on the list, 16 have received their bows, so 76 of you are awaiting your bows. I know one as had to drop out and 2 bows are still in the mail. How is that SportHunter? Thanks for reminding me I did that last year I will try and keep it up.

[SportHunter]

That's a lot of bows to look at, really excellent work being done so far. It's going to be very interesting to see all the upcoming creations.

This is my trade bow from jsweka last year. Just figured out how to post pictures. Thanks John

[scottm]

Awsum keep up the good work every one!

[jsweka]

Brent - Thanks for posting those pics.  You look good with a Hill style bow in your hands.

[jsweka]

I put the finishing touches on my swap bow.  Here she is.....

64" mild r/d longbow, walnut riser, cherry limbs under clear class with hard maple core.

 

 

 


Here's a pic showing how the cherry in the limbs will darken with time.  The bow on the left is a Hill style longbow I built back in 2008.  Cherry only gets better with age.



It should ship out Monday and I hope ***** likes it and puts it to good use.

sure looks like a nice bow- like the grip- my kinda handle!!-not too deep.

[Goose Gossett]

Being gone for a few weeks gives someone lots to read waiting for plane flights.  Good stuff being created from everyone!

[Trux Turning]

That's a beauty John!!
