Glad it made it but sorry to hear that happened Chuck. Been trying to put alot of effort in the overlays to make good glue lines and not starve the joints. Regardless, let me know if its more than a simple fix.
Thanks, Mike

Mike, I just use epoxy for most tips. I'll clamp it today and shoot it in 2. Super simple fix. Awesome stave by the way

And here is my old school static offering.  Mark me shipped. It’s on its way to a secret location.  55#@28”. Garter snake skins on Osage from a beam found in a barn.

Package received. And this bow is so beautiful.i truly mean it. It’s simple and elegant and not to mention wicked fast. My arrows go right where I point them. Thank you for such a fantastic bow and I hope the bow I send out is equally loved by its new owner

I received a package from Sagebrush Friday. I meant to type up something sooner, but wanted to play with it a bit. And have a few minutes to type. It’s a beautiful trilam of Bamboo, maple, and yew. With Carmen skin handle wrap. I love the knotty belly lam of yew. It’s nice and heavy too, pulling 69# at 27”. It’s going to be fun to play with.

Thank you

Kyle

For those of you that have not shipped yet and have not been in contact with me, please let me know your status.  It would be great if we could get this trade closed sometime soon. 

Thanks,

Mike

Mike M2A, I've been shooting the locust bow the last couple days. Great work! It's a fast bow.
Thanks again
Chuck

I received a package in the mail from sleek today.  I will post some pictures next week some time but it is a beautiful hickory bow.  It is spliced with Osage glued onto the handle and Osage tip overlays.  It is 45 pounds at 26 inches.  I had time to for a few shots out if it and it shoots great.  I really love this bow.

Thank you sleek!

Glad it got there, and early no less :) Its a spliced hickory axe handle bow. Now, you may notice the poundage picks up as it dries out, im in a 77% average humidity area, so its performance should improve over time. Howd the shipping pipe do to protect it, I never used that stuff before.
Tread softly and carry a bent stick.

Glad it all worked out Chuck. Hope it serves you well. I'll be giving epoxy a try next overlays I put on, instead of TBIII. I keep eyeing up a couple more staves from that same tree. Not right for what I'd like to build next, but maybe next year sometime.

Thanks guys, enjoyed seeing and hearing about all the projects this year. Glad I could take part. Lot of top notch bows been posted here. Cant wait to see some of the rest of them.

Spliced axe handle, very cool.  The shipping pipe protected it very well.  I was surprised how light it was when I picked it up. I never thought of using that for shipping a bow in. 

I really like the handle and overlays on this bow too.  It looks good hanging on my bow rack.  The handle also is very comfortable.  Very nice job.
