I wouldn't linit it to stave bows, but I don't think red oak is gonna sit well with anyone

[DavidV]

Maybe next year.... as it is right now, putting a deadline for a bow always puts me three months behind

[bubbles]

I would say, try to do the best you can, with the best materials you can spare.  I would also say that there is a mild preference for staves.

[2015bowtrade]

Are we doing stave bows only or boards as well?

There certainly seems to be a mild preference for split staves but it isn't necessary as long as the bow is well made.

I must say this trade is very well thought out, much better than how we used to do it in the old days.  I really like the rules.  As bubbles mentioned though, if by chance you do have to ship north cross border then consider that a high dollar declared value will cost the recipient a tidy chunk of money by customs.

Thank you Marc I'm (Marc/huisme) going to sort people willing to ship internationally and make sure we don't leave anyone out as my portion of the paring lists. I'll notify them of the best methods to avoid those fines.

It doesn't matter to customs if you call it a gift when shipping to Canada.  All that really matters is how much the declared value is.  Shipping overseas is always a pain and expensive no matter what.  That said the way this trade is set up makes me want to participate but not this year, maybe next.

KellyG,

I'd like a copy of that list if you wouldn't mind? Some of the dead beats from here have migrated to PaleoPlanet and I keep track of them.

Huisme:

Yep, I have shipped to Canada a couple times for <$35 with no added fees because I said it was a simple carving

I think I'll be around for next year's trade; this isn't so different from running contests on /r/dailydraw.

[bushboy]

Wouldn't miss this!                                                               Right hand, 50-60#,25"-29" draw.canada and usa shipping.thanks marc! Will PM my imfo in a bit

[Gaur]

Well I'm in.  Also just signed up for TG swap.  Guess that's one way to force myself to make a few more bows

I prefer 50-55# @28"  but if its nice and smooth and longer design can handle more than that as well.  Right handed 27-29" (depends on the design if you'll let me pull it that far )

I'll ship where needed.  If I draw a expensive shipping you might be getting a take down like Mike is doing.

[2015bowtrade]
