Thank you to everyone for putting in the work to make this swap run as smooth as those in the past.  As the end of the official build period draws near, I will start reaching out to those who are still working on a regular basis.  If you are running into issues, please let me know as soon as possible so we can work something out.  Keep up the good work!

I asked Chris to call me and I have not talked to him as of yet but I wanted to be upfront here as well. To whomever has my name please do not send a bow to me.

Some things have changed in my personal life that have brought me to this decision that were not known when I signed up. I apologize for any inconvenience or loss my trade may cause. I am very much embarrassed to even have to make this post.

Thank you to those that helped with my questions and your time - Shane wink

[EvilDogBeast]

I am now aware of the situation and will be getting things worked out right now.  No hard feelings here, the man has things that need taken care of.  Stand by for updates.

[Jon Lipovac]

Shane, I wish you the best with everything.🙏

[kennym]

Shane, hope all is OK and no worries on the swap brother!

[EvilDogBeast]

Working an angle, will have everything back in motion by tomorrow morning latest.

Thanks guys! Family is always our priority. My wife’s father just had major surgery and now her mother is very ill. With work and taking care of our own place and our parents we just do not have any time.

Chris did call and check on me today. I am thankful he is able to make it all right for my guy.

[kennym]

For sure take care of family! The swap is nothing to worry about compared to family !

There is a bow in this Osage stave. Maybe in couple weeks. Here goes…..

Glad you like it Sacred Mt. I wasn’t so sure about it, I was trying to guess what it felt like at your draw. The scale said it was good but sometimes that can be misleading.

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

Shane, by all means family comes first! This is a hobby and a lot of great people.  Things happen that are out of our control and I like to think everyone here understands that!

Take care and I am sure you will be back building again in the future.

Alright we are back up and running!  Sorry it took a little longer than expected.

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

Well dang....missed my target weight.  Got the riser like I want. Will need to be finish sanded.

I cut out extra lams because I was afraid of this. This victim is nowhere near my short draw length and  my normal design would stack at that draw, so I lengthen the limbs and shortened the wedges a bit from my design.

Will get new limbs made tomorrow and hopefully be back on track.

Can't wait to see some clear coat on this

[Crooked Stic]

That looks good!

[kennym]

Real nice, looks like a great grip on her!

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

I will get some close ups when I clear it. I overlayed the shelf as well. Clear coat ready makes the bubbinga pop. Just bummed I missed weight on these limbs. Good learning experience though.

[EvilDogBeast]

At least you can use the limbs on another build.  Looks good!

Handle taking shape, overlays on, tillering will be finished this week
