TG BOW SWAP 2012 (pics and post)

[PEARL DRUMS]

I pull up to the house EVERY night and just stare at my porch waiting to see a tube sitting there with one of these fine bows in it. One of these days Im gonna be right!

Coaster, I like that yew and the handle wrap.

Coaster, very nice looking bow! I also wrapped an Osage with cord. How much water did you add to the glue? I used Crazy glue to "spot Hold" the cord but I think its a good idea to TB3 it too. Thanks

[Roy from Pa]

Very nice Kip.

[Dan Landis]

Coaster, good work on the yew, I too like the stain and finish.

Sporthunter, looking good!

PD, I know what you mean, I miss not having that to look forward to when I get home every day.  I'm not complaining though, since I received IMO one of the best bows of the trade....Dan

[Roy from Pa]

You are a lucky guy Kenny... I love this bow and the art work!!

Sweeeeet Pat !!

 

[rmorris]

Hey kenny how about you send me that bow because I had my eye on it and when mine comes I will keep both of them...You are a lucky man Kenny and you are a skilled craftsman Pat.

[Pat B]

I was starting to get concerned but am glad it got there. Last year Joe Weed, this year Kenny McKenzie! Talk about being intimidated with my recipients. Sheesh!
  Kenny, I hope she a good fit for you. I was very pleased how well she shot. She does have a little thump when shot but by no means uncomfortable. My draw is 26" and even though I have tillered her out and well exercised to 29" I wasn't able to shoot her at 28". Please work her in gently for those last few inches. I have no doubt she will be fine I just wasn't able to finesse her with full draw shooting.

[kennym]

First off- THANK YOU PAT for a great work of art!!    

I was gonna ask about breakin on her Pat, I have only exp. with a black locust selfbow I made.

My hat is off to you guys who make bows from the raw materials at hand!  I love the bow, and my wife said " AWESOME"  

She ain't never said that about one of mine!
