Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!Just came home from work and could unwrap a cool tube from Paulsemp.
Oh my – that is a sweet bow, from a nice clean character stave, fine detail work on tips handle and the transition into the sleeves. When you look at it you hardly will see it's a take down.
Paul, thank you so much for this piece of art. I'm sure she will shoot nicely. I will wait some days before bracing to give the bow a chance to acclimatise and hopefully the weather is fine on Friday for some pics.
Btw.:
I had to fetch the bow from the bureau for Customs. There are bureaucrats you won't believe. Took me an hour today to declare:
- yes it is a gift and
- yes Paul is a friend and
- yes the value is 40$ (haha) and yes it is wood, I don't know what species (haha) and
- yes it is no tropical wood, I know this for sure and
- yes this no trade, there is no bill included and
- blablabla …...
I'm glad we hadn't such trouble with mine for Pat.
In the end, after that $§%&§§ person did some search in the net, he suddenly said it's o.k. I can go. Believe me, my neck was as twice as thick as normal and I had some **** words on the tongue. But I was so happy and excited to have my Paulsemp bow finally in posession.
Pauly, thanks again for that super nice stick!
I can hardly wait to shoot her.
