I want to put a few more arrows through her and will do that today. I have 5 coats of Tru-Oil on her and did a quick spray of satin poly to cut the shine yesterday. She should be going in the mail later this week. I'll be getting this one out just in time to start my PA trade bow. I think I'm back in the saddle again!
 Before last years trade I hadn't built a bow in over a year and Kris talked me into getting into the trade and being we had until July 4th to get our bows out I decided I could get it done. SO...thanks Kris for getting me back doing what I love to do. Unfortunately(or fortunately) I'm deep into my addiction again! d;^)

Gee, and I didn't even realize I was in the swap (but you inadvertently left one of the "n"s off my last name, Pat, it's **** ) -     :archer:  

Oh well, you can't blame a guy for tryin'. As you well know, it is a true beauty, Pat, with a lovely tiller, and if the lucky recipient doesn't like it (for some crazy "animal skin" phobia, or something) they can certainly count on me to take it off their hands.

I foresee (with fingertips pressed to temples) an upswing in the number of Elm bow attempts on the Bowyers Bench in the near future - I'm just saying.

See, that could have been me, Kel - LOL. Hmmm, that's a fair chunk of landscape and more than just a few candidates even at that, eh, Pat? At least it  means I may get a chance to see it up close and personal at one of the shoots we go to in NC and/or WV.

OK, Pat - now that you've finished that job, come down here for a day or two and straighten out this "Multi-Damascus-look" back on my stave/bow -     :D  

I sure hope whoever gets that bow has a video camera handy to give us a look at their face when they see it, and then when they shoot it. Or at least some candid still shots.
