Finished floor tiller early this morning then onto the long string and a few scrape and excercise sessions. I will work the outer 1/3 a bit more then file nocks and brace with the short string in the morning. Pulling 50@22 on the long string. Lower limb showing a tad stiff but that's the way I like to start them.

I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

My tradebow is tillered and ready for final sanding and stain and finish. It should be ready to ship in a couple of weeks.

Here is the trade bow that I received from Bubbles.  I can honestly say that out of fiberglass longbows and recurve bows and wooden selfbows, this truly is one of the best shooting bows that I've ever shot.  Thank you so much for it.  There is even a compound bow purist at the archery club that thinks it is amazing.  It is hickory backed white oak.    I think I might have a special use for it on October 1st this year (opening day of deer season in Ontario)  It shoots point on at about 15 yards.

Just for fun, here is the Penebscot version of it.  Lol.  This is what happens when you don't check what's in the background before you snap a picture.

Mark me as shipped.  (Someone should expect a package Thursday) And RECIEVED. When i got home from work today there was a tube awaiting. Cant believe i shipped and received on the same day.  ;D 

Opened a tube all the way from the great state of Texas to find a beautiful bow from Ink. Its now the best looking smoothest drawing bow i own. And it hits right where i look. I couldn't ask for a nicer bow. Thanks Jason.

Its a 64" American elm 42#@28" and has just a touch of character and great attention to detail in the finish. Smooth drawing and zips an arrow right along. I'll let my poor picture taking skills try to tell ya the rest. My pics just don't do it justice. Thanks again Jason.
