Man you guys are good.  So where do I go to purchase this bow?  Should I just send the check now? Justin

Shannon, I have a red and black string twisted up but haven't served it(cause I don't know where) or added string silencers(cause I don't have any). Should I send it along as it is?    Pat

well, i tested the quiver last night. 

the bad news is, it's a total failure.  the stiffener is in the wrong place (on the bottom instead of the side) and i can't fix it.

the good news is, i have enough leather to start over (but it won't be stitchless). i was thinking about a fred asbell style approach.  i took next week off, so i should be able to finish it next week.

sorry guys, that's what happens when i try to get too creative.  it's actually pat's fault.  he got me going on that german engineering thing.  i was trying to come up with some neat ideas and disregarded the most basic aspect: gravity.

Sorry to hear about your quiver mishap. I know what you mean - experimentation means risk, and it doesn't always work out the way you want. But, I find mistakes are the best kinds of learning tools, even if painful.

Guys, the bow sock is coming along. The threads are measured out. Only have to get the loom warped and get it finished.

Hey guys I just wanted to give you an update on the bow. I haven't been able to work on it since I put the handle wrap on it last week. Between work and family life I haven't had any time. I should be able to get back on it this week. Pat I will get you a measurement on the string tomorrow. Sorry I am holding up the progress guys.  :(

..or I can send it to you and you put it on the bow and serve it. Either way. The string is plenty long enough, the excess can be cut off later.   
   What about string silencers?   Pat

That will work Pat. I have black wool yarn that I use for bow silencers if you guys want that.

me discouraged?  my horoscope is taurus.  i'm as stubborn as they come  ;D

bullcreekboy, i'm grateful for the slow down.  ;D

this might turn into a race, between the bow, the arrows, the bowsock and the quiver  ;D

A race? An arms race of sort, then, :)

Greg, the problem is you all sit around eating too many moon pies, drinking too much coo-cola, RC or otherwise, and then having seconds of sweet potatoe pie. The yanks have learned the value of trudging to work each day and tending their factory jobs, even if a few get sucked into the machinery and perish in horrid ways.

No puritans settled down that way, right? :)
