Don't be a stranger, Justin. We need to look over your shoulder and make comments while you work.  ;D
  It's great to see the enthusiasm and there is no need to be intimidated. Take the opportunity to learn from what others are doing. There is no need to rush(but please do remember there is a deadline!  ;) ). Take your time and have fun.
Now!  When do I get mine!  >:(   ::)
Well said Pat.  Remember guys this is for fun, so don't stress, enjoy the journey and go the extra mile!  ;)

I know who I have  :P :o :o Just resarched and think I have this person dialed in on the radar   >:D >:D >:D I'll post some pics as I go  ;D  Also a special thanks to Marie , Josh, and Pat you guys are great.

Ya I just skimmed through around 3000 posts to get to know my pick and I sent a couple of his build allongs to my e mail some great stuff. Funny how sertian people stand out to me on here and others who are very knollegable and have lots of posts go right under the radar. This is a great way to get to know each other as well.

sailordad that is just funny lol ;D

While I am really excited to get another bow (like I don't have enough) I'm really nervous and uptight about who I get to send a bow to...makes me really want to bear down and do my best ever!

And what extras can I throw in?  A bundle of Black Hills sage?  Maybe jar of chokecherry jelly?  I'll thnk of something!



John,  I think you're the chokecherry culprit.  I was amazed to see this thread start tonight and get to 3 pages so quickly.  But, I have the answer to your question, just put jack-a-lope antler tip overlays on your bow.  Nobody else is gonna do that...

I got my name too.  I want to make a short bow, but the draw length is pretty long.  Looks like I'll be pounding some sinew.

I think calendergirl is done for the night, she sent me a message saying she got 19 out for the night then sent me 9 to send out. It was 11:00pm her time when she sent it to me so im sure she is calling it a night.Thanks a bunch for doing this for us Marie we all appretiate it. So 28 people should have got pm's the rest will probably get theres tomorrow, so dont stay up all night waiting lol ;D If I had more names I would go all night ;D but my wife is already yelling at me to get off the net lol

I can't wait to start working on my bow.  I am 7 hours into a 15 hour shift tonight.  I might just stay up all day and see what I can get done.  Who can sleep when there are bows to be made.

I got my name and as I expected, am a little intimidated after "researching" my recipient. I shouldn't be nervous though, all I can promise is my best, right?
At least whoever gets my name shouldn't be intimidated in the least, I'll be happy with anything!  ;D

Pat I was just kidding. I'm too addicted to this site to duck out. I was really nervous when I got my name, but I'm actually relaxed and glad I got who I got. Already got the ideas flowing. Just gotta procure some back up wood just in case and start "whittling away what don't look like a bow" as jed clampett would say.

Fishfinder 401, Denny here , looks like black cherry tree too me. I wouldn't recommend them, They kill horses around here. Also I got about a thousand of them in my back yard to compare to your photo. Grouse love choke cherries around here, I find the berries to be a little more reddish than black and as been said the bush is smooth bark, if I recall.

Jackalope antler tip overlays!  Why didn't I think of that?!?!?!  OH YEAH!  Now I know!  DUH!!!   All I ever see are the does.  Finding a doe jackalope is easy, but them bucks are wiley, reallly wiley!

I gotta go read every single post my person has made since joining this forum so I can profile him.  Then I'm gonna google him, hire a private detective, and pay every one of his friends to rat him out.  Oh wait, this is the PA forum, not Match.com sorry.
