I'm in. I skipped the last three because my confidence level was low but now I'm sure i can put something out that I'll be proud of. I think thats why some of the new guys are a little hesitant about joining in.

Well...since no one else has made the effort to start and head this up,ill be taking it on this year...I've been in contact with pat and he's gonna help out.....Pearl drums also has contacted me wanting to assist.

I love the bow trade,and can't wait to get the ball rolling....as soon as the members helping out all come to an agreement on the terms and boundaries I will start the official sign up thread with all the rules n such...THIS THREAD IS NOT THE SIGN UP FOR THE TRADE

Whooo-hoooo!!!!!! Lets get this baby started ;)

Thanks for getting it rolling blackhawk. I was starting to think there wasnt going to be one this year and i have been looking forward to it since the last one ended.

you should probably move that post to the trade forum, this is where we make bows for our recipient and send it out, then we get one from another person who made one for us.

Count me in! I got a head start this year and a pile of partially finished bows of every size and weight and wood type (except osage - if I did have osage I'd keep it for myself). Someone will be getting some of our fine NW woods.

C'mon Pinecone, you can't sit this one out. That decreases my chances of winning the Bryce lottery and gettin an awesome Pinecone bow.
I won the Keenan lottery last year (awesome bow). Oh well, there are so many great bowyers on here I'd be very happy getting anyone's fine craftsmanship.

like blackhawk said, this isnt the thread to sign up at, keep your eyes pealed on the bow forum for when they do create the signup page.
