Curtis,
Thanks for taking the lead in my absence. You did great bud. I'm back now and ready to whip this horse to the finish. LOL
First of all to clarify the rumors that are running around. We did have a small problem with the handle overlay. The snakewood that was put on the back of the bow with the horn popped. Being yew, the bow flexs a little through the handle and the snakewood decided it didn't want to bend. After discussing this with Curtis we decided to have the bow shipped here for Jason and me to bring home.
Our plan at the moment is to make sure the horn is solid and if so to shape and refinish it with the horn but not the snakewood. The horn will flex and be there forever.
It was not Curtis' decision to not discuss this with the general public but mine. We had called or emailed the bowyers involved with the project to get opinions but knew the bow was solid and would be fine. We would have had this completed by now if I hadn't been called away for Connie's mothers funeral.
The bow will be here on Monday and will be a first priority in our shop til it's ready to ship to the winner.
If you have any concerns or questions, please direct them to me at:
