I can't decide if I want to join in this year.  I love doing the trades, but I have some bows I want to build for people this year and I don't know if I'll have the time.  I need to think about it some more.  It does look like its going to be a good trade this year.

If your going to the classic you'll have allllll the time in the world ;) come on pal.

I have lurked over this for about two years, and am still going to sit this one out for one more year.  I have a lot more to learn just yet to make the "best bow I can" and make it for some one else.  But I sure do applaud all of you that can.  Best of luck to all, and look forward the  pictures and tales along the way.

 More then anything this is all about being a blessing to others and more about the heart to build a bow for someone Else.As with the bow trades of past it never has been about the bow you get but the journey of the gift for another.  It is a great way to express your appreciation and share your talents as well.

Danny, last year we had one bow that was going to England(I think) and the original bowyer didn't fulfill his obligation so another guy built the bow and lots of others said they would help with the shipping. It turned out one guy that wasn't in the trade sent the money to cover the shipping because he wanted to contribute. So we can work it out if no one else from across the pond signs up.

Streatcher this will be my second trade and I'm glad I took the plunge,. It pushed me to build a better bow than the first. I was very apprehensive but super glad I jumped :) We're gonna have a great time!!!!!
