Outbound 2012 Trade Bow

[Pappy]

Good looking bow,way to stay with it,wonder how that wood compairs to the Dogwood we have here in Tennessee,it seems to work pretty good with dry heat. Maybe just different type wood or some wood just more stubborn than others. Either way turned out nice.

Way to stick with it Gus! It will be worth the wait, I'm sure.  You did a good job posting your progress with it , so your recipient should know and understand the effort that you put into this bow for them. Good work all around.  Josh

Thank You for the kind words Pappy.
I've learned a lot from looking at the bows you've built and reading your sage advice.
Not sure how Pacific Dogwood would stack up to Tennessee Dogwood, as this is the first piece of Dogwood I've gotten my hands on. 

Thank You Cipriano.
I know you got an ear full about this bow from time to time...   
I hope she performs good and works well into the future for Mr. X...

Thank You Darwin.
She went out into the Big Wide World today.
Hopefully she'll live long, and be an asset to her new owner.

Thank You Gun Doc.
I appreciate your kind words, and the encouragement of an accomplished Bow Builder.
I admit there were times when I considered leaning this one in the corner and picking up a piece of Osage to take a perceived easier path.
But I knew there was a bow in there.

May Her String Never Break, and Her Arrows Fly True.
She should arrive at her new home Friday Afternoon.
