Put the first coat of spray on it last night and noticed a spot I missed in the final sanding. I'll go back and sand that spot tonight and get the final coats put on. I've decided to make this one my swap bow, although I was really wanting to keep it for myself. However I want my victim to recieve the best that I have to offer. The original swap bow looks and shoots great I just had a few rookie errors in it that most people wouldn't notice but someone who builds bows would. So I'll keep the original one for myself, and of course build me some more.

Remind me, please. We need to wait for confirmation from canopyboy before shipping, correct?  Or do we just ship ASAP?

It depends, you only have to wait if you have a first-timer or if you have a late sender from last year.  I would PM him and let him know you're ready to ship and then see what he says.

Yosemite, sent you a PM. But Evildog is right. I should have told you if need to wait for an ok when I sent you your original info.

As a secondary note, if you’re a newbie or late shipper who is packed and ready to ship, I need to know so I can tell your bowyer who may or may not be holding your bow.

Clear coated and crate made, just have to wait until Monday for the Post Office to open so I can mail her off.  Made the crate as bomb-proof as possible to survive our wonderful military postal employees....
