Since I used Wenge, I have been spending some time filling grain! Another night or two of this and then I should be able to spray. I hope to ship on Friday.

Does swapping a bow for Firewood count?

I guess Norwegian Beech could do, but I am a bit worried about freight cost.

Nicholi · « **Reply #403 on:** May 27, 2022, 09:23:45 AM »

I got it all sprayed last night. I would rather the finish has a few days to cure before I wrap it in plastic, so I will be shipping on Wednesday.

Good looking bow.
I need to glue on the tip overlays and finish sanding my bow.
I might be a couple of days into the grace period.

Wenge is like a shipwrecked sailor Nicholi- Thats a cool looking bow!

It may be, but man do I love how it looks. I couldn't ever use wenge or bocote enough.

Got the new riser material glued up and veneers joined last night. Hoping to get the lams in and bow glued up before we leave Wednesday.

Got my last bits today but it wasn't until late. Looks like I'll be setting a personal best for build time when I get back from vacation next week.

Don’t sweat it. Have a good vacation and then build your bow. 😁
Dave.

I have officially shipped! I hope my victim likes it! Certainly the best one I have made yet.

I think it had 5 digits? But I'm not 100% sure on that.

Shredd · « **Reply #416 on:** June 05, 2022, 10:12:59 PM »

I been following along... You guys are making some nice looking bows...

Dannon · « **Reply #417 on:** June 08, 2022, 10:01:57 PM »

I received a bow today from Nicholi. I’ll try to get some pics up soon.

EvilDogBeast · « **Reply #418 on:** June 09, 2022, 07:14:14 AM »

Just got back to the house. It's 3 AM here, going to hit the hay and get caught up in the morning.

EvilDogBeast · « **Reply #419 on:** June 09, 2022, 02:52:54 PM »

Alright, all rested up and drinking some coffee! We are currently:

7/10 received

1 of the remaining 3 is in the final finishing stages, another is well under way, and I am about to marathon build mine. I will be shipped no later than the 17th.
