Any Updates on the others? I will ship tomorrow. Working till 5 everyday is a bummer. But, what can you do? Onward and upward!

Kinda' odd katt hasn't shipped. That dude usually had his done the next day. Makes me wonder if something is array.

Didn't think it wasn't just concerned something might have happened to him

Sorry folks I have not gotten mine done yet. I am working on it. The tiller is better I need to hit it with heat still to move the tips and get the belly nice and toasted again. I do my work out side so It will not get done today it is raining.

I get that done asap and work on the handle and tips. I have a big bull snake skin to put on it. this guy was almost 6 foot (road kill, I cant bring myself to take on just for its skin). Sorry for being that guy.

Don't worry Kelly, I would rather wait than except something that you was not happy sending just because of a deadline. Patrick

Glad you got the bow Jon W
I've seen you make a lot of Osage so I thought I'd do something different for you

Ok, first of all I have sorry for not checking in in so long. An unexpected move and a new job that started about the same time this trade did, has made this year a lot more hectic than expected.

Second, I received a bow today from Bruce, (blaflair). It's awesome!! That pretty much sums it up. I'll post a couple pics of that tomorrow. Also, Bruce and I have a different trade in the works, and he was kinda enough to text me pics of the bow in progress, of course he forgot to mention it was my trade bow. That was pretty clever Bruce!! I never suspected...pretty sneaky ;D

Third, I put some clear coat on a bow for my victim a few minutes ago. Things got crazy for a minute, broke the tip off plan b last week, and I thought for sure I was done. Man sometimes breaks are just down right depressing. Talk about taking the wind out of your sails. I pulled it off though, always gotta get back on the horse ;) Anyway, here's a sneak peak. Its white ash, 62" long scalloped bow, with a little flip in the tips, some paint, and 42#@28".

Thanks for being patient everybody!! Hope my guy likes it, and I'll let him post a few more pics.

Checked on mine today. Delivery looks like Thursday instead of Saturday. And I just realized that my note I wrote to put into the tube was laying on my table under some leather. So "#>¢¥§~¿¡¬|£" as soon as you get it send me a message with your number and we can talk a bit. Sorry bud. The brace is 6in from the throat if the handle. The red string is dineema and the tan string is spectra. Both padded with B50. The tan string is the one that is shot in. The red one has had about 20 arrows shot through it.

P.S. That's twice I've forgotten the note in a trade. Last time the pore fella didn't even know what he got. Patrick
