Horn Cjhaser - If I'm sending a recurve I make a quicky box out of mdf. You just can't trust delivery companies......
I wouldn't mind waiting.

I'm making my first ever three piece for the trade. Riser glued and ready to be cut. New limbs have cured overnight on my new form.
How it's going to turn out......nobody knows! Once I get her strung and see whats going on i'll post some pictures. I'm going to be working on it today so we'll see.

Ok, I sent a very nice bow off to my recipient today. Had  some family mental health issues plus moving cities and a new job. So got some help this year and ended up with a better bow than I would have done on my own. Hope my recipient likes what I sent. Was determined to get a bow out on time this year.
Thank you to everyone who has participated and supported this swap over the years. It has been a real pleasure to have been in it from the start. I have gotten the Sergio Leonne spectrum over the years, the good the bad and the ugly, however I have treasured all the bows I have received and look forward to the bow I will get this year.
A special thank you again to Kelly for the work he has done and his service to the country. You are a great guy and a credit to your parents.

So I got my new 3 piece shooting....but as always the first set of limbs off new forms were a bit of a guess regarding stack height....83lb limbs are a bit over the desired weight of 55#!
I'll get a new pair glued up tomorrow.

"83# limbs are a bit over the desired weight-" Been down that road couple times myself Mike,admittedly by a smaller margin but overweight is overweight I guess.Hope your new limbs make the cut!   :thumbsup:

Ok, I'm finally making progress on bow no2. This one will be out by the end of July. As I said, the 1st one delaminated at the top fade. Oh well, I think I will prefer this one in any case.

Look forward to seeing all the bows.

My plan A bow was over 80# as well. I got it down to 70# and it will go down a bit more, but it was supposed to be a two piece, but it doesn't want to play nice.
Instead of fighting with it, I started plan B. I'll be on it all day today.

Kelly, I see I'm on the early ship list -- I don't believe that's correct?  This isn't my first trade and I've been on time every year.  If it is correct, I'm sorry.  I'm going to be finishing the bow this week and will be able to ship by next weekend.  I've had some setbacks with finishing.
