Maybe you should message him to make sure.  Never know with some of these shippers, I had to track a package down on campus the order day at work because some goonrods will sign for anything and fedex will deliver to anyone that will sign.

Who is your recipient?  Do you want me to message him to ask if he has received, that way you can maintain secrecy.

Well, this has been far more frustrating for me then I had originally thought it would be or quite frankly should have been, but I'm closing in on completion after my 4th attempt. It ended up tougher then I'd thought to build a bow to another persons specs, particularly when they are so different from my own. I had one come in under weight and had 2 that developed cracks at the early stages I wasn't comfortable finishing up and sending out to another person although I'm thinking I can thin one down and still reach a bow for my desired weight and draw. I just put down some rat snake skins and am glad to be in the dress up stage of the bow build. I apologise for not updating on my progress and at times lack of progress more often.

I hear ya man, I am on #5 or is it #6? Losing count but finally got one that I will start to pretty up and put a finish on tomorrow. I kept lookin at it and wondering how to deal with string alignment issues while I was reckin the others and in the end it was no problem when I got started on it.

Somewhere way back in this post I said something like "whats the hurry? We got til August"

I have officially eaten these words  ::)

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

That grip looks good, I like the contrasting materials.
