Looking fantastic guys!

[kennym]

Looks great!!

My victim should receive today but I'm a bit concerned that tracking is not showing movement...

[Buemaker]

Good stuff.

I feel like I'm way behind, bunch of great bows being shipped out. Hopefully get mine finished up within the next week or so

[kennym]

I got a heck of a bow in the mail today from BC ,Canada!!

Its rain/snowing today so may not get to shoot it today unless in shop.

And some awesome extras with it.

Pix later, gotta get caught up on shop work!!

[dbeaver]

That was a great looking bow kenny, lucky guy, cant wait to see the full draw photos of it

[dbeaver]

That's all she wrote. It's up to the USPS now.   Should be there by thursday(2days) if that gives anything away.

[BO-R]

All great looking bows and shipping containers!!

[DVSHUNTER]

I put a leather grip on the bow and have it sanded down but I'm still shooting it to let it settle. I need to find someone with a longer draw to shoot it for me so I can see it at a draw longer than my 26in.

[DVSHUNTER]

It's just a simple, slim, selfbow, but that's the beauty of a selfbow if you ask me. I hope the glass guy with a draw longer than 26 inches likes it. hope that didn't give it away.

Less is more.
Nice stick Dave

[kennym]

I didn't even get time to string this beauty today.  Sorry guys.

Noah ,you did an awesome job of building, packaging and the letter enclosed and bow spec sheet was over the top my friend!!

Not to mention the gift he sent for Renee !!  Points taken!!

Thank you sir, And I'll get some pics tomorrow if it isn't drab and rainy like today.  Gotta look in my sock drawer to see about the camera? Anybody remember that?

[DVSHUNTER]

I remember that Kenny!

I am guilty of not posting as many pics of the bow I received.  Kirk had so many that were better I didn't need to luckily.  It seems so many times we are very pleased with what we have but have such a high expectation of skill from this group that it seems like pictures can't ever do the work justice. I know the bow I got from Kirk is being well used and is greatly appreciated. I would have been happy to get any bow so far, except for the one Kyle is making. Lol

I'm making the new string for my victims bow tonight. I won't ship for awhile because with an all wood bow,  I like to shoot them in and let them settle a bit. Even with all the excercise on the tillering tree, they can move.

Having said that, do you guys that haven't got their bow yet have a preference on string colors? I have almost everything and would like to male it custom.

[Mo_coon-catcher]

Dave, are you sure you don't want either the broken javelin or Quasimodo. I may just have to find a gnarlier stick than that one.

Kyle

[kennym]

I have to take Zwickey to the vet for shots this morning, then I'll shoot it and get a full draw pic .

Here is a few from the arrival . Noah is a craftsman !!

Got a charcuterie board for my wife, she loves it!!

And some coasters from the sight window , how cool is that ?

Thank you Noah!!!

Oh, and my victim's bow was to be delivered yesterday, but now says in transit arriving late. 

[Jon Lipovac]

Kenny, so what you are saying is, there is still a chance that sucker is coming to IA still? 

[kennym]

Jon, I really have no idea where it is or where it's going...

I'm hoping Kenny's bow was trapped in a snow storm

[DVSHUNTER]

That board is the coolest charcuterie board I've seen so far in my life.
