Ink you may want to contact your customs. I dont know if you do or do not have anything there yet but there is a chance and I know we have had issues getting your customs to get you stuff on time.

[KellyG]

Shawn you may go ahead let me know when it goes out.

[KellyG]

Ok here is where I am at.

Dressed up still need the make up.





Now what color and side to use smooth leather or suede side?
Smooth




suede

[wood carver 2]

I vote for the reddish smooth leather. The reddish suede would be my second choice.
Dave.

[Crittergetter]

If it's for me I say the redish smooth!

[KellyG]

wcdurand is the email on your profile correct. your bowyer needs it to ship your bow out.

[wcdurand]

wcdurand@lantic.net Thank You Kelly

Update:

New glue up off the form. Need to actually shape, tiller, sand, shoot in, and finish. But floor tiller tills me the poundage should be correct.

Hickory-hickory-ipe tri lam, shedua riser with bocote and cocobolo accent stripes. Pics before it ships.

I will get it done as quickly as a thorough job will allow. I expect no more than two weeks. But it might be as quick as a few days depending on how the weekend goes.

So to my victim, I apologize, but I assure you I will make it worth the wait.  Think I will be sending a little something extra as a kind gesture for being late.

Did some heat straightening on mine yesterday and will put the tips on tonight, while it rehydrates. Will try to get a photo or two up when it is bending a little better.

[KellyG]

I owe photos but I have mine all dolled up. I just need to wright on it and put it in a tube. the tube is the hardest part, I dont have one. So off to the hardware store. I will get is shipped by saturday. Sorry ****** for being late. This bow shoot soft You fell the string release but man I dont hear anything at all. There should not be any spoked game with this one until the arrow is poking in them.

[KellyG]

That's some solid kink there Kelly.    


Braced tiller looks great too.

Nice looking stick Kelly. Cool to see what's being built. Photos have been pretty thin in this thread.

[LittleBen]

That is a fine looking osage bow right there. Really like it!
