Got some work done on the swap bow.

Had some problems with glue up. Hopefully I can fill he voids and everything goes smoothly. The glue lines along both limbs are excellent, but the fades are definately not excellent.

66" R/D. Bamboo-walnut-Ipe, figured birch riser.
1 1/4" wide to after mid limb, tapering to 3/8" tips.

Shawn all I can say is folks need to get some bow shipped if they want that one. Heck there might have been a mix up in the names. I think you were suppose to have mine.  :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:

Maybe I'll just go shoot an Osceola Tom with it this week.   It's in full swing down here in the sunshine state.

Get after them Shawn! I'm counting the days until turkey season here- and I've got my new trade bow to test out so I can't take that one off your hands.

Sorry guys! I've been working six and seven days a week lately, so my seldom days off have been spent with family and recouping. I'll get busy with my swapper real soon, I promise. Anyone one know of any descent jobs hiring in northern michigan? I'm getting tired of paying Uncle Sam with all this mandatory OT!

Ben I bet that one will spit an arrow a far cast at a high rate of speed when she is done.

I haven't done any work on my trade bow in a week or so. I'm finishing up my PA trade bow and will concentrate on my TG trad bow next.
