I'm having second thoughts this time, after nominating. not sure if people want to be burdened with the extra shipping costs over here. What do people think?

We got the other end of the temp scale. Expecting about 105*f tomorrow! Thick glue not an issue here, probably be able to skip the hotbox too just put the lot on a car hood.

I had the same thoughts the last two years, but man I'm glad I joined in. If one would say this is to expensive for me then I would  help out paying a part of the shipping fees just to be able to participate, because it is so much fun. Besides that I believe that these few bows I've made for the swap so far, have challenged me and made me grow as a bowyer more than the rest. Not all of them turned out exactly the way I wanted but I learned so much building these bows.
