You're crazy if you think the handle is "off" Justin. Ship it, I'll take good care of her    :thumbsup:

That extra weight will just push the arrow right through the moose I'll shoot with it this fall.    ;)  
I see nothing at all wrong with your riser Justin. The whole bow looks good.
I took a long white tube to the post office after dinner tonight. Hopefully, by Monday or Tuesday it should arrive at it's destination.    :pray:

Easy now Roy don't you go hating on chevy's.  

Justin I like the shape of your riser.  I see no problem with it at all.  It looks great

Good looking knife to Kevin.  I've never held a piece of yew in my hand I don't think.  Looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

Andy, looking good as usual.

Justin! I think that handle and the zebrawood looks killer. Keep it up man!

Haven't had much time to check in or get much work done ... real work is killing me lately ... need some finish sanding on my swap bow and a couple coats of poly but otherwise ready to go. Probably try to get it in the mail next weekend.

Was working from home today and heard a truck turn around and leave, so I walked out to see what was up.

saw this, must be the fishing Rods I have ordered.

 

But much to my surprise i find this brown glass beauty hiding within.

 

do not have time to shoot right now, but had to slide a string on it and see how she feels. smooooth.

 

looks like it needs a little blood on the handle though, I will try to take care of that this fall.

Good looking bow....

So I couldn't sleep last night and at 0200 hours I went outside and shot my bow. It is super quiet and shoots exactly where I aimed. I am pumped with how it is turning out and now I just have to finish the little details!!

Don't worry ******** I will have it out in the mail probably next week. Just needs a little tweaking!

When my string material gets here I'll whip up an endless loop and get it out.  It's ordered and shipped, shouldn't be long.

Kelly I am amazed on how you keep this thing running as smooth as you do. Thanks for all of your work and I hope to be out right at the first deadline if all goes to plan.

I am glad I had those mishaps with my first two bows.... This one is defiantly my best build to date for a R/D.

Again thanks for all that you have done for us here on the swap!

I would really like to and give him a proper thanks, but try as I might I cannot find his handle on here, and I hate to post his name.
So I will just say thank you Phil from Colorado.
