2013 Annual Bow Swap

[Draffish]

grats 4est and to kevin for making a wonderful looking bow

[talkingcabbage]

I think I've got the finish issue fixed. Now just need to decide if I'll put a handle wrap on it or not. Hmm. Maybe I'll take some pics and see what ya'll think.

BTW, nice bow Kevin and 4est. Fantastic!

Kevin you outdone yourself.  That thing is gorgous.  I like everything about it.  Great job on the arrow too.  I like the nock.  Big congrats 4est I'm very happy for you.

4est -- if you happen to use the stone tip and get lucky, I would love a picture or two..

[bigbob2]

for any of you guys wondering if you were going to be lucky enough to get that terrific 'snake' bow Soy posted a little while ago,   BAD LUCK!!! its all mine!!! And if that wasnt enough Soy even included a really great hackberry flattie as well!!Never rains but it pours!! I cant put up action photos just now 'cause the Minister for War and Finance is laid up with a nasty 'bug' but as soon as possible I will post some to do these great bows justice. Grateful thanks from humbled recipient.

I kinda don't like you at the moment bob! But congratulations, looked like an amazing bow.

[Troy D. Breeding]

Dang!! Bob... Soy must have hand delivered it. I've never had a package get downunder that fast...

[Trux Turning]

Congrat's Bob- those were some pretty cool looking bows!!
Here's where I'm at one mine... all done! Just need to get it boxed up and shipped out- I guess I need to quit shooting it too-lol- its the one on the bottom- probably....

[kevin_h]

That one could be my favorite...it looks like it would do the job on a moose..

[mjwhitby]

I'm not sure what the worst part about this is. Building the bow, wondering which one I'm gonna receive or waiting to hear from the person that got mine because the post office says it was delivered 4 hrs ago!

[bowhntineverythingnh03743]

Wow Trux that is great looking! Congrats Bob... kinda jelous and wanna kick ya in the shin to run off with it LOL.... Mj if it was coming here its not delivered... ugh lol.

Mine should be shipped out this week. Been really busy getting ready for turkey season.

[talkingcabbage]

Ya know, I used to like Australia    :(  
Well, congrats anyway Bob!

I'm gonna get some pics of a possible handle wrap tonight when I get off work and see what ya'll think of it. I still haven't decided if I'm going to put it on yet.  I'm wanting to come up with something else to put in the box but I'm having trouble thinking of anything.  Anyway, if I can keep from shooting it all weekend I'll be sending her out on Saturday. Then I can sit back and watch all the rest of them being made and wonder which one will be mine    :D

[soy]

Bob I'm glad it arrive safely enjoy and I hope they don't blow up they are wooden bows after all
Troy you're right that was fast I had not used DHL before but they straight up get after it going to check into some domestic prices from them!!!

[red hill]

Congrates, Bob!
Nice looking bows, Trux!

[talkingcabbage]

Ok, what do you guys think.  

Without a handle wrap


Or with this leather

Here's another


Obviously it still needs cut down and such.  I just keep going back and forth about it.  I think the color looks good, and I'd probably use it for the strike plate as well with a black bear hair-type arrow shelf.  

So, whaddya think?  Yay or nay?
