Hey I hate to be that guy but if my bow is finished can I go ahead and ship?   I’ve got maybe 2 or three things to do to mine but I wanted to check and ask first to make sure it was ok?

PM Swampman when you are ready and he'll let you know if you should ship. 
Do you have some teaser pics?

[Swampman]

Mafort, go ahead and ship.

October 15th is just around the corner.  According to my records most everyone is on track to be completed by then.  If any of you have hit any snags  or have questions about shipping, please get in touch with me.  There are some great bows and I am excited to see them get into the hands of their new owners!

On another note, my wife is doing well and done with all treatments, etc.  Our life is starting to get back to normal.  Definitely not our favorite summer but we got through it.  I appreciate the support from all of you.

Been plugging away, looking more like a bow now, I've run a gizmo down both limbs and their bending the same, so I think I need to soften the left fade a bit, maybe soften the tips as well.  I've pulled it to 16 inches, a little bit of string follow and about an inch of set, which is disappointing considering how slow I'm taking it. It's starting to look a bit holey now a few of the pin-knots have fallen out, I'll glue in fillers for the ones on the edges but I'm leaving the ones in the centre of the limbs, blackthorn doesn't mind a few holes here and there.  Be glad of any advice on the tiller before I pull back any further.

Really glad you're better half is recovering well. hope you all have a beautiful Fall, I reckon you deserve it.

  Stuck,
                 I agree, work the fades and the center of each limb...Get that working part circular...I like the primitive/natural look you have going also...Love a character bow, their one of a kind...

I got the tillering on my Bamboo/Maple/Osage tri-lam finished up. I haven't shot it through the chrony yet but this bow feels like it should be plenty fast.  All that's left is to stain/finish and add a leather grip before I can ship it out.

( The white line on the bottom limb is a piece of wire sticking out of the wall behind the bow, it ended up in a weird position in the photo)

That one looks fast. Very nice Mr Sniper

[Bayou Ben]

Glad to hear your wife is doing better Swampman. 

I agree that one looks fast Sniper. 

I almost have the tiller wrapped up.  2" more to go and a few lbs.

 

[Swampman]

That bow looks great Sniper.  Looks like a great shooter.

Ben your bow is looking real good too. 

[Stickhead]

Taylor & Ben - those bows are both looking great!

[M2A]

That looks great SS. Someone is going to be very happy with that bow.

Ben, Very nice tiller work there. Even with the snakey grain that tiller looks spot on.
