Thank you everyone for the kind words and compliments. It means a lot to get the support of such fine bowyers. These trades are a lot of fun.

My draw length is just short of 26" so I'll be looking forward to seeing the bow get bent out to 28" by the recipient. It doesn't look much more than braced in one of those pictures where I'm drawing it. ::)

Wow, I love it! Epic full draw photo too!  ;D

 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Thanks, TMK!

Thanks Dvs, maybe it is, maybe it isn't...

I want to ship it out soon but the tube I got my bow in for last year's trade is 3" too short.  :( I need to go out and buy a new tube...

Weylin, if you are down this way, I have a tube that will work for that bow. 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
