That's a real bummer, Bubby. 

Just sewn the leather grip on my trade bow.  All is left is to twist up a string.  Hopefully, I get that done in the morning and possibly ship it out tomorrow.

Okay, I twisted the red & gray Fast Flight string, double served with red over black on my now completed trade bow.  Final stats are:

62-1/2 inches long TTT
45# at 28-inches
Over/under sister billets spliced with the knots coming out of the fades.  Upper limb knot hole is 3-inches long.
Black suede leather grip with died red hemp lacing.

The osage is fire streaked red from a tree I cut a couple of years ago.  Sure hope my recipient likes it. 
I'll likely get it out in the Post Office tomorrow.   :)

Nice work, Matt. I usually prefer a bit heavier than 45#, but in this case I will make an exception!
