I got mine last night and I had a hard time getting to sleep, but now that I am awake I can't stop thinking about how I'm going to approach this bow. Seems like everyone has the right mind set though and they want this to be the best bow they've ever made, so I think there are going to be some sweet photos and happy shooters in the end. Can't wait to get home so I can look over the stave's and make a pick. Good luck everyone and I said thanks to Marie last night but I'll say it again thanks to Pat and Josh to for getting it started and helping organize it, this is going to be awesome.

let me know what you think I am just finishing a Vine maple that had about 5 inches of reflex in it and most of it tillered out so I think I can make this  one work without to many problems. I think im going to also do a Cascara stave as well and maybe pick the best of the two, I will most likely back the Cascara with Cherry bark ???

Well, after a long nite at work, I made up my mind to stay up all day and get started making my trade bow.  Of course life got in the way;  replacing the brakes on my car, fixing a flat tire, replacing a broken swaybar link, and then a friend of the family that we haven't seen in 10 years stopped by.  So, I didn't get as much done as I wanted, but I got it cut out.  Tomorrow I will chase a ring and cut it to thickness.
