Man when I got back from the post office yesterday I saw so etching on the ground at my work, picked it up and realized it what the arrow rest.  It must have fallen off when I took it out to show my coworker.  DAMN.  Kinda embarrassing.  Should I just send a little rest in the mail. Today.  The contact cement must have failed. Boo.

Aaaaaaaaaaand done.  I really like this bow, gonna miss it and I might have to make another. Coming in at 48# right now at 28".  It's a Hickory bow so I wouldn't be surprised to see this bow pick up 5# or so in conditions other than S Florida!  68" long and smooth and quiet.  Used the scalloped back idea from the Mohawk bow and gave it a cotton wrap for the handle, which is my favorite, and made a funky flourescent pink/orange FF string with muskrat silencers.  It hits where I look.

I should make it over to the post office this afternoon.  Just gonna get a full draw shot first before I do.

Cheers guys!

Matt...your embarrassment is nothing compared to what I ma feeling right now...lol.

I went online to track my package and see how it was doing....its is scheduled as  out for delivery. YAY...until I realize that I wrote the addresses on the package backward, and mailed it to my house. From the post office.

I may be the only person in the history of PA that will be mailing my bow out twice.

Oh great, and to make it even worse...AS I WAS WRITING this post, my wife called me to tell me I got a package...

Sigh...Well, my guy will have to wait 'till I can mail it out AGAIN on Monday, LOL.

I posted a while back that you know you are doing right by the Bow Trade when you really want to keep the bow for yourself.  Freudian slip, skarhand???

Stephen, that bow looks awesome the contrasting colors and the vibrancy is amazing.  There is just so much to like about that bow. 

The thing that has struck me so far about this trade is so many people are saying how they sure hate to see their bows go, this tells me that there is so much being put into crafting something for someone else.  I feel the same way, the bow I am making is going to be hard to let go of as well but I know someone out there put their heart and soul into making something for me just as I have for someone else.  That is what this trade is all about.

Well, here is some prof that I'm actually working. So far I have it tillered to 28" I cant give you a ballpark weight because I don't want to give away too much info. It's 30mm wide and deep at the handle, tapers to half inch tips and is 74" NtN so you can do the math ;). somehow the string alignment shifted a little off center so it just got some heat treating. I'll probably only tiller it another inch, but what do you guys think so far?
