Very nice bow Citycop. I'll chalk that one up on the long list of bows I've liked in this years swap...

[Cuban Missile]

I agree I like the look of that rawhide on the yew.

Jerrod, that bow has a great looking profile, cant wait to see the finished product!

And the here she is with her cloths off    

 


 

 

Ol'righty,  now we will have to wait for ******* to provide the money shot.....

One of these days when the funds are available, im going to upgrade my 4" grinder, hatched, and hand saw for some nicer tools.  Maybe then I can get a little better on the fine detail work (riser fades prior to layup etc....)

These bows are amazing.  Very inspiring to a new builder like myself.  Thank you for sharing all the stories and pictures.  I hope am accomplished enough to join in next year.

While I am anxiously waiting for my trade bow, I had some time to finish some other projects.
 

 

 

The lures are for Bone Lake....

[KellyG]

Well some nice work fellas. JSMOFFITT03 did you ship it yet. I be **** is chomping at the bit to get their hands on it.

[red hill]

Jerrod, That bow is gorgeous! How you gonna improve, son?

Man, great lookin' bows, folks!

[JSMOFFITT03]

@ KellyG,  I bet right now she is some were over those fly over states... Sad to see her go...

@ red hill,  I guess Im critical of my own work.  Always room for improvement.... That's what makes this fun!!!!

[KellyG]

Oh that is right I had you marked as shipped already, I am betting dollors to donuts ******** is going to love that bow.

[Bone lake]

Hey Kevin, Those look great!Haven't been able to get out musky fishing for a while but I can't wait to try them out! Thanks again.

[Bone lake]

Nice looking bow too!

The bow is a bamboo backed bamboo flooring takedown..
51@28.
Seeing all the recurves being made for the swap got me motivated..plus my daughter wanted one too..
It is tillered out to 28, but it also pulls 45@26, which is what she wanted..

The lures should leave the house tomorrow, they needed one more day on the drying rack.

[Swissbow]

Yesterday when I came home my daugther Caroline told me that a long cardboard boy had been delivered. I unpacked it and a look what came out...

 

Of course I had to test it immediately. It's not only looking extremely cool, it's also a fine shooter...

 

 

 

...love those green limbs and the tips. I still wonder how Shawn did them, they look awesome.

Thanks a lot Shawn for that wonderful bow.

Later in the evening I put the last coats of finish on mine. I'm going to send it off tomorrow.

 

 

I put a few more arrows through it and it seems to be ok.

 

 

 

I hope ******** ********** is going to be happy with it. And sorry again for the delay.

Super nice bows Andy, both of them... I'll bet the extra mass in your riser helps quite a bit to have little to no handshock upon release. Nice design & tiller as well.

[kennym]

Sweet!! Both bows!  They look sorta alike.

[KellyG]

Nice andy I will mark you as received.
