That is looking sweet Pappy.    Coaster, it looks like you took care of the problem to me.  That thing is gorgeous, and I would be more than happy to receive it.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Broke out a stave yesterday but ran into a nasty defect when i got the back worked down. Think i can still get a bow out of it but not what im after for this trade. >:(

Hopefully i can find time to start again this weekend. I have a quarter of an osage log that i cut at least 8 years ago that im going to break out. Im sure the KING wont let me down. ;D

Well here's a sad story, but one with a happy ending I believe.   :)

I sent my trade bow out last week.  I was at the Expedition when I yelled towards the house and asked polite as can be for my bride to bring out the bow in the library with the black bow sock wrapped around it so I could ship it out.  She being such a wonderful lady done me the favor.  I shipped the bow along with a few items inside to a fellow in Texas.  Well I was at Twin Oaks last weekend and I pulled another bow out to shot our practice range and almost had a heart attack when I seen the bow I was to send in the bow trade come making it's way outa that black bow sock.  I forgot I had two black bow socks.  So I ponder for a moment and I call quick like to the fellow I was doing the trade with and he chuckled at me because he had a very fine bow Will had made me sitting in his living room in ole Texas!  I offered up my apologizes's and he said no problem and he'd send me ole Will's bow back to Tennessee and I'd send him the one I made back in return.  I plan to send the one I made for him this week.   :)

I guess the moral of the story is always make sure you s3end the right item to the right person, when going to the Post Office.

I told the guys at Twin Oaks my mistake and they all had a good laugh at my expense, that was justly due of course.  I for sure made a mistake, but I believe it will all work out in the end.   :)

Shipped last night. My recipient should have it in hand Friday or Saturday depending on the whole Easter thing.
Giving it your best effort is what anyone should expect.

Nice bow bushboy! You sure are good at making ducks with your hand  >:D

I'm just drooling over all of these bows lately just hoping one is coming my way :) Both my wife and the mail lady are getting sick of me asking if I have any packages...
