I received a huge PVC tube today......my wife said good Lord what in the world do you have now.  I could not wait to get home to see my new bow....................well much to my suprise there were four bows in the tube.  Two for me and one for each of my bows.....I could not believe it myself.  I had to read and reread his letter to get the point.  I will get full pictures up as soon as possible.  Johnston thank you again for the great bows.  I am proud to own them.  My oldest son was very excited to get a bow.
Happy hunting to all!

James when researching you I found as many pics of your sons as I did you. Just would not
have been right not to include them. Really hope all of you Baileys get some use out of your
bows. It was my pleasure to build them.

Johnston, you are a great guy. What a good way to build up good karma credits! Can't wait to see what those mummys look like unwrapped.

 This is what makes these bow swaps top notch, and Soy if who ever get's your bow don't like it they can send it to me unless of course it's headed to my door step.

 I didn't get to do any work on my swap bow at the classic. It was a little humid and I was afraid the ol' hickory stick would soak it up like a sponge so I left it locked up in the truck. I put it back in the hot box when I got home and I'm gonna weigh it this weekend and see if it gained any moisture in TN. If it did hopefully it will dry back out quick so I can get it done and in the mail.

 I plan to do a massey finish or parafin on it to help keep it from gaining much moisture when it's done, what do you folks would be best 
learned a great deal many things during my absence the last few years,
True friends are rare and priceless.
You always think it won’t happen to you, well it can it will. Such is life, it ain't fair and shows no indifference. Enjoy it anyway

One step closer!  Hurry up and cure already sinew! >:(  Its a good thing that I won't be home for another week or two.  Patience is not one of my virtues.   Josh

Well, here it is.  My 2012 Tradebow is finished and ready to ship.  Here are a few teasers.  It is a sinew backed shorty that draws 42# at 26 inches.  Just gotta put it in a PVC tube and drop it off.
