I believe that Zane has it now and is doing the sanding. I'm next in line then.

Fellows it just arrived at the post office today but they were closed by the time I got home.  I'll go pick it up on Monday and hope to send it to the next in line on Friday.  I'll keep you updated now that it's almost here.

Fellows finally picked up the Bow from the postoffice and its in great shape.  That container protects it real nice. 
What a piece of art.  Well done.  I'm busy this weekend so It'll be late Sunday/early next week before I get it sanded smooth.  I'll let you know when I'm ready to ship so I can get the address.

Thanks again for letting me take part.

Gordon its ready where to next?  Again thanks everyone for letting me see this.  Seeing and touching that bow did more for my learning than reading over 10 books on bowmaking.  Hopefully this summer I can keep working a piece I'm trying.

Gordon sent it out on Thursday so it should be there tomorrow (Monday).  Thanks a lot for letting me sand.  I used the power sander and got everything down to just one ring...lol..ok lame joke settle down everyone....

Looking forward to seeing the finished pictures.

Again Thanks everyone

Hey guys, glad to see things are moving along. ;D  We all have lots of real( ???) stuff going on that takes priority. Just like in wood bow crafting the most important thing we can have is patience.
   Those of us going to the Tennessee Classic will get to see and hold the Southern Community Bow. My only connection, besides emotional, is the string...and a damn nice string I might add! ;D   
 I'm looking forward to not only holding and maybe shooting OUR bow but will get to actually meet a few of its creators. Did I say how nice the string was? ::) 
   There is a lot of Medicine going into these Community Bows and in the future it will pass on to the recipients. I believe this will help to promote the Primitive Archer cause.  ;)   Pat

Matt,

Can you tell me to what draw length the bow is tillered to?

Thanks.

I strung the bow and put it on a tree today in order to see how much it pulled and noticed a couple of problems. One limb is considerably weaker than the other which results in about 1/2" positive tiller. The other issue is that the bow somehow came in light - it pulls 43# @ 28". I can correct the tiller, but it will drop the weight below 40#.

What do you guys want to do?
