I actually slept ok lol. I was at the post office two minutes after they opened and I mean that literally..lol. I had to open it at work this morning ive only had time to draw it once. I tell you what guys Roy pics do not do it justice. I know none of us can stand him but that ol fart can build a pretty damn good bow. Haha I got to get back to work but ill put some pics up tonight. THANKS ROY

Excited that my phenolic came in and my accent glass. Gonna get it glued up this weekend and take this blank to bow shape. Super pumped and excited all at the same time.... I hate shaping risers because it can go from awesome to crap in a heartbeat!

Yea Roy thats the only way I string em anyway. I just got home and am about to go shoot her a little

Happy for ya, D!

Now if I can get away from my wife and her "do this and this" crap maybe I can get something completed on my trade. It's to profile but haven't thinned the limbs yet.

Glass and more smooth-on showed up from MO last night. Just waiting for my lams to be ground and sent back to me now. I figure *********'s bow will be be done a couple months after that at my current pace. Hope he's gettin' ready...

Oh, and congrats D. I was hoping he couldn't tell which way was west and one of the boxes on my front porch last night was that purdy stick.

Man oh man. Some good looking bows out there as usual. I'm at the farm/ranch in Nebraska and won't be home till Monday.

Maybe I'll get a slip

I almost had some pics to show. Then I got
bam-boozled into a basement remodel.

Great work everyone! Even you Roy

I got home this afternoon and went out to shoot and didn't even bother with the target I just grabbed some Judos and went to the woods behind my house. It sure is a great shooter. I was extremely impressed with how well it shot. No handshock at all. Very smooth and didn't stack at all. That ol codger knows what he's doing. Ya know Roy you said "its just a bow" but I disagree its not "just a bow". Its more than a bow. Every bow that gets received in this swap isn't "just a bow". They are all awesome creations that someone put a lot of time, effort, thought and consideration into for someone they have never met. Heck I don't think I have met anyone that I talk with on here. There's only a handful of tradgangers that I have met before. This in my third year in the swap and all three bows I have got (one from bob last year and one from Walt Francis the year before that) mean a great deal to me. Thanks to all three of you guys. Ok that's enough mushy stuff..lol on to some pics.

He put one more gift in the tube with the bow too but it didn't last long..lolol

That's awesome D! Good job ol' man too! Can't wait to see what comes my way... I cherish my bow I got last year in my first swap. Something I will never get rid of!

I consider myself so far ahead after last year with soy's absolutely awesome 'snake' bow that any bow that comes my way this year will be a bonus.

soy · « **Reply #1355 on:** March 21, 2014, 02:54:00 AM »

congratulations D, Roy ...its OK I guess and Bob you are making me blush

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #1356 on:** March 21, 2014, 03:50:00 AM »

Nice pictures, D.. Hey I forgot to tell you and maybe you figured it out already, but those tie on string nocks are adjustable. They can be screwed up or down the string for tuning. Once ya have them where they need to be, sort of twist each one together to tighten it up a little.

bigbob2 · « **Reply #1357 on:** March 21, 2014, 05:11:00 AM »

Soy you're more than welcome

LESKEN2011 · « **Reply #1358 on:** March 21, 2014, 06:05:00 AM »

That is one sweet bow,D. Congrats! Oh, and you did alright, too, Roy! :D

Zradix · « **Reply #1359 on:** March 21, 2014, 08:15:00 AM »

That is a pretty bow.
Beautiful lines.
Love the top pic in the woods.

ENJOY!
