Progress Report (lDEADLINE PLUS 8 DAYS)

[Pat B]

I would rather have the bowyer take his time even though time is almost up. If you try to rush you don't learn anything good through the process and the work will show it. Take your time and get her done right. I did my PA trade bow early but still haven't shipped my TG trade bow that was due July 11. It should go out early next week.
  I've not been divorced but I've been married a divorced woman for over 36 years and helped her raise her daughter. Meredith was 6 when Marcia and I got married.  I did go through some of the post divorce stuff for about 12 years until Meredith went to college. After that her Dad didn't care. He didn't have to pay child support anymore.
 Keep in close contact with your kids and a civil relationship with your ex for the kids.

This is such an amazing group of people sometimes.  You can truly feel the respect and concern held for one another.  @Jordan - Here's hoping for the best possible outcomes for you and yours.  These things are NEVER easy.  Your answers will not be the same as anyone else's answers.  Just strive to do honorably with all parties involved and you'll come out alright!

As for the Trade - I'll echo what was said by others - If it were me, ...I'd want to wait.  I had to send a bow late in the last trade I was in.  It made me all the more determined to make the best bow I could for my recipient.  All-in-all, I think it worked out fine and the world kept turning.

Just checked tracking..."Spooky" is on her way

You're a good man Jordan.
I been bummed all day cause me and the wife talked last night and aint much but kids and convenience keeping us together. Divorce is really just a matter of time here.
Best wishes with it all.

it aint easy man but id rather happy and alone then married and miserable. id recommend going to a therapist just to make the process easier to go through, that way theres now resentment. you either go to save your marriage or to end your marriage.

I could probably use a therapist  LOL
As for going as a couple, I been twice in the past 2 years....alone!  Gotta laugh a little on that one and it tells me a little of what I need to know  .

I am officially finished, I will ship on Monday.  I will get some pictures up this weekend.

Looking forward to seeing your work Grady, my ERC didn't make the cut so I am glad you got it done.

My bow has been "shipped" and the recipient has "received" it.

[Fred Arnold]

Mine has reached it's destination city but looks like the recipient is unavailable.

[IdahoMatt]

Those skins look great man.  That handle is slick slick slick.  Great job
