Although Kenny's "Twined Lightning" could be a solid offer!

Smguinnip the bow is awesome! Beautiful and super smooth! Thank you sir!

I'll try to get pictures tomorrow after work. I had about 30 min to play before heading to Judo tonight.

Now I've gotta get my contribution packaged up and shipped out. I just need to pick up a tube.

I think they have crooked tubes at Walmart

Mo_coon-catcher · April 26, 2024, 09:33:31 AM

If their tubes are like their lumber I may have to go to Home Depot

Kyle, you're very welcome. Looks like the little guy may have staked his claim already, maybe he will let you shoot it some. Enjoy

I'm in the same boat as Kyle. I'm ready to ship, just need to get a tube. Turkey season and starting a new job has me behind. It will ship out this coming week.

I'm not real fond of using PVC tubes myself. If you do, you should definitely tape some carboard corners on the tube so it cannot roll around. Those things rolling around on the conveyor belts at the distribution centers is where they are destroyed.

I prefer the triangle boxes USPS provides for free. I tape two of them together end to end and stiffen them up with some paneling or light weight wood. this one i'm shipping right now i used a couple pieces of old cedar lap siding i had to reinforce the cardboard. You could use these same triangle boxes over a tube if you are nervous about it.

In the oven. The green Myrtle has turned out to be much harder wood than I expected. Other Myrtle has more like maple. Interesting wood to work with. 🤔

Yep. I thought you would notice that. Almost like being Stabilized.!!!

DVSHUNTER · May 02, 2024, 11:45:22 PM

Someone should be getting a tube tomorrow

EvilDogBeast · May 03, 2024, 02:01:28 PM

Once that arrives, it will put us up to 13/18 delivered!

As we are within the last 30 days, I will begin to reach out to those who are still working. Regular updates from those folks would be greatly appreciated. Let's finish out strong!

EvilDogBeast · May 03, 2024, 02:07:03 PM

Additionally, please let me know as soon as possible if there is difficulty on your end. We can still course-correct at this point as long as there is enough time to do it.

I'm bringing up the rear it looks like

but I am now glued up!

Looking ok here.

Mo_coon-catcher · May 07, 2024, 12:00:51 PM

I just need to find the time to get the bow in the tube and it'll be off. Hopefully tonight I can get it ready. If not I'm off work tomorrow and can get it done.

DVSHUNTER · May 07, 2024, 05:12:26 PM

I'm still waiting for arrival of the bow I made.
