Thx Kenny, I'm still dealing with the "learning curve"! One day it'll be second nature.

I made a new fast flight string for my trade bow, signed it, and touched up a couple areas of the finish I wasn't crazy about while I was putting a finish over the signature. A couple more coats, the shelf and strike plate and she will be ready to ship.

Got some work done on my trade bow. Bend looks good so hopefully it will just be weight reduction.

Cut, ground and tapered lams, power lams, wedges and tip wedges for some limbs to go with my flared riser. One of my buddies decided he wanted a bow with it..   :p

finished a side quiver i started yesterday. used some 2-3oz leather i got in trade, a 1/8" plywood for the body, about 80 miles of artificial sinew, and the foam and gripper from a left over floor mat. not real fond of the strap but it'll do until i can buy more leather and brass hardware for another one.
 
 
 
 
didn't have a stitching awl so i had to make a couple.
 

ain't as pretty or professional looking as the shrew mantis from laclair, but i like the feel of it. now, to study pics of bow quivers and see what i can come up with.

Nice bow Bob.

I really like that quiver Craig. I've been thinking of making one myself...
