2023 Bow Swap Progress Thread - Complete

[EvilDogBeast]

Got the bow mailed off about 3 hours ago and Nick has the tracking number.  String silencers and an extra piece of leather included in the box in case my wrap job ever gives up the ghost.  Commence the waiting game!

That’s a pretty cool looking bow well done
 Mind we ask what all the woods were on that bow ? 🏹

Thank you!  I can only take limited credit here though.  Kenny made it, I just piked it down a bit to bring the weight into range for Nick and refinished it.  He already made a bow for the swap and I didn't want him to have to pull double duty.
 Zebra veneers, bubinga, maple, charcoal A-wood riser, actionboo core, and a phenolic I-beam.  The tips have a pistachio overlay on them because I was out of zebra, but I think it ended up matching pretty well.  I am sure I am missing something in the stackup though.

That bow has some background in the swap.  I built it for Bue several years back in the swap, but made the tenon to narrow front to back I decided later when the sleeve popped a crack at the top.  So I built a 3 piece to ship.

Then later I drilled the riser front and back of sleeve and epoxied more depth onto it. Phenolic I think, and was going to pike it and use it myself for hunting, but my 3 piece was treating me so well I just never finished it.

This looked like a good opp to get it out of the shop and to someone who would finish it up and someone who would shoot it.

Awesome job Chris, and hope Nic likes it!!

Guess I won’t be staying late at work tonight.

[EvilDogBeast]

Nice!  Now we just cross our fingers and hope USPS didn't smash it all up.

[Nicholi]

Everything is in good shape! I am headed to ETAR on Wednesday and I won’t be able to shoot it til then. I’ll get some good pics later in the week in the Pennsylvania “mountains”.

[EvilDogBeast]

Sweet, glad it made it in two pieces!

[kennym]

Great to hear!!  Didn't take the customary 2 weeks either? 

[Nicholi]

Bow Shot great! It was nice to travel with a takedown! Great work guys!

[EvilDogBeast]

Glad it worked out!
