2014 Annual Bow Swap

KellyG · March 07, 2014, 11:06:00 PM

Great work!

LittleBen · March 08, 2014, 07:07:00 AM

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.

Looking good fellas. Man I really wish Kelly would give me the go ahead to ship my bow. Actually I kinda enjoying shooing it.

LittleBen · March 08, 2014, 05:59:00 PM

Breakin my heart here Shawn ... Since I don't think I'm on the hold to ship list I guess it's not mine ... bummer, beautiful bow.

KellyG · March 08, 2014, 06:00:00 PM

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.

LittleBen · March 08, 2014, 06:10:00 PM

HAHAHAHA! That's it! Next year I'm pulling names out of the hat! For fairness ... thats all ... lol.

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.

Pheonixarcher · March 09, 2014, 03:01:00 AM

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!

KellyG · March 09, 2014, 10:27:00 AM

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

Pat B · March 09, 2014, 01:33:00 PM

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.

KellyG · March 09, 2014, 02:42:00 PM

Heck pat you had 3 Pa bows in the works, so I bet you do not have any issues with getting one done.

Dan Landis · March 09, 2014, 03:43:00 PM

Did some final tweaking on mine today, time to start getting it all prettied up. Sure hope ***$$#** likes it, haven't heard much from him lately.

Looks good all... Wednesday is the day mine goes into glue up... Gonna be a heat wave here in New Hampshire... All the way to 39 degrees! Hate heating the garage with propane and it's not air tight. That's the next project this summer. Hope ya all are having a good weekend.
In boston myself going to see Thomas Rhett in concert tonight. Wine and dinning my girl tonight!

kevin_h · March 09, 2014, 09:33:00 PM
