Sweet bow, Patrick. Kyle, you look like you were made for that bow, congratulations.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Handed bow over to USPS this morning. Should arrive at recipient's doorstep Monday or Tuesday. Great experience!

Very nice looking bow Pat and getting your recipient to have a hand in the process without a clue that it would end up in his hands was clever. :)  Congrats Kyle, thats a sweet bow.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Im afraid my recipient will be receiving a very basic bland bow. I had grand plans but as all the best laid plans go... I hooe he doesnt mind beauty in form and function....

Guys the 1st is catching up to us. For those still working stay calm and build on. Just please, PLEASE, don't make me send in my muscle Mr. Hill. I can't be responsible for his tactics.  :o

Oh no Mr Hill.
Wife just text me and said a long package just arrived at home. Can't wait to get out of work and get home now.

John,  I hand delivered my bow. Please make sure Mr. Hill knows that. I don't want him to show up at my house like he did last time.  >:D >:D

I hands delivered mine as well, but I've been "over the hill" for awhile now so I ain't worried.  :D

And, re JonW's threatening post . . . everyone who knows me knows the bark is much worse than the bite!

WOW. I just recieved my trade bow from Knoll. He nicked this one out of the park. I will get some pictures taken and get a thread started as soon as I can . But thank you Knoll this bow like I told you is a true work of art. I with list all the details in the thread on the bow at that time. But knoll really out did himself with this one. Can't wait for the rain to stop. But I have tomorrow off. So I am sure it will send some arrows down range. Thanks again Knoll.

Well I'm finished with the hackberry trade bow I was working on at MoJam. It may be a little more stout than my recipient is expecting, I didn't have batteries for the scale until after I got the finish on... Oh well, Hackberry tends to lose some poundage after you shoot it in. It's a little over 50 @ 28" and 63" long ntn. The profile came straight from the natural stave so there's a kink in the upper limb, I only corrected it from side to side. It was heat treated a little bit toward the end.

Handle is bloodwood, tips are cocobolo, rabbit fur silencers, and the handle has some wooden beads. Hope the recipient finds it shiny. I'll be shipping as soon as I get my USPS boxes in the mail.
