Not a chance she'd let me do that in the kitchen, just lucky to have a finished walk-out basement, humidity has been way to high to do much work in the garage. Getting real close now, should be finished by the end of the week.

Got mine all done. Had to adjust the tiller a little. One more final sanding and I'll be ready for spray.

Okay canopyboy, here ya go.

Just shipped out today, so for the first time ever I'm late.  Oh well.  Try again next year, right?  

She's 60" and 47# @28".  Sorry to my victim for coming in a few pounds under.  I hope it doesn't break the deal  :)

She's got bocote and purple heart riser with bamboo core limbs under green glass.  Osage tip wedges.  

 

 

 

 

 

Kelly, I'm gonna pm you right away with the tracking info.

Just received a beauty of a bow from Talkingcabbage! Very sweet looking bow, love the woods and the glass, the length and profile, well... Everything!
 Outstanding work, I will get some pics up when I can, have been under the weather for a few months, so havent been on here much, also taking care of my 4mo old baby girl, life's been busy.
 Thanks so much for the beautiful bow Joe!

Wow! Got a chance to take a few shots, and this bow is a sweet shooter. Fast, quiet, and no hand shock. Grip fills my hand nicely. Thanks again Joe, this is one hell of a nice bow.

Awesome, I'm glad you got her okay.  Sorry for being a bit light.  I wasnt expecting you to get it till tomorrow!  Very glad you're happy with her.  

I do have a request -- if or when you get to shoot something with it, I'd like a picture.  If you don't take it hunting, that's okay.  But I enjoy seeing my bows get used and see what people are taking with them.  

Happy trails my friend!

Jomohr, I am very jealous. I saw that bow  and hoped it was mine. The lines look great and it just seemed it would be  shooter. Enjoy it and your 4 month old, congratulations.

Still waiting on mine too Breazyears.  Also not complaining -- the wait just makes the excitement grow!  It seems there's quite a few builders working on bows.  I wonder how far along we are at this point?

This went into the mail to "********" today..  

Please pardon me for being a week late, but I had a mishap with my first try at shipping!..  

I included one of Michael Harbisons fine 3 bundle, Fury strings, with beaver fur silencers.  The bow is pretty quiet without those, but they look pretty cool!

I hope they enjoy it.. Its definitely a shooter!..

Very nice looking t/d bow Jeff.


Just finished this boo backed cedar English style longbow with micarta tips, 69" NTN. Packed and ready to ship out Monday. This is my first of this style but it won't be the last, really fun build. Hits like a hammer and very quiet.

Very nice!  I got out with my daughter and shot my trade bow from Talking Cabbage a little bit. It was her first time seeing a me shooting a bow, and she laughed so hard. Gonna be a good little archer, figure I gotta start her young.
