UPDATE:Reminder that the ship by due date is 6/5, or 5 weeks from today! By my tracking, we have 3 bows received and 2 in the mail. We had a couple bowyers that had to drop out early as circumstances changed, so we're down to 13 bowyers. Counting shipped bows, we're at 38% complete (23% received). Doing good. But would like to see some updates from:
- TradBowyer
- Sacred mt
- EvilDogBeast
- John Scifres
I owe an update myself! Things have been a bit crazier than I predicted, so I've put the idea of making my first 3-piece on hold until next year and am going with a one piece I have some experience and forms for already. I found this board buried in my lumber pile that I want to use for the riser. No idea what it is (it was part of a grab bag of lumber from hardwood pallets or something a friend had), and the picture doesn't show the color very well, but it's heavy and beautiful and should make a sweet looking riser.
I ordered some more glass from Kenny. Going to try BP for the first time, need to adjust my stack a bit it seems. Hopefully it doesn't take more than one try to hit my recipient's weight range. Question though for my victim if he's watching: would you prefer yew or curly koa limbs? I'm kind of leaning towards yew if I don't hear anything. I just love yew...
