Could you guys remind me of the final date for shipping out? I got my finger crushed between a log and a 32 ton hydraulic splitter the other day, which is going to set me back a week or two. Thanks

Sept. 29th is the shopping day. That stinks about your finger. Hopefully it recovers quick. Cheers- Brendan

Umm, probably, depends. I need to see everyone has finished tillering, I have to be confident that everyone is going to get their bow, so, I don't need to see them prettied up and finished but I will not issue addresses until we have all shown a tillered bow on this thread. I know the professional bowyers might feel insulted by my seeming lack of faith but I can't have one rule for one and not the others, besides, part of the fun of the trade is watching the bows develop, so if it sounds hard, I totally apologise but I am going to make sure no-one is missed out and we don't have a situation where one or two are waiting a month or more after they have dispatched til they get their bow.

Ok, so I've just checked back over the last 6 weeks or more, and, 7 of us have posted pictures of tillered bows, a few others have said they are close to finishing but no picks (and you know what Del says about that 😀) some others have posted regular updates and comments and two haven't posted anything for ages ( you know who you are)

If you really, really, don't want to post a full-draw photo on the thread, pm me or email me and all will be fine, at least one, and probably two or three of the bows will be a dead give-away for the ID of their recipient, so a pm or email might be the best option for those bows.

That's a great looking yew ELB. Sort of hoping it makes its way to my doorstep when te time comes. Then, I don't think I've seen any I wouldn't want on my rack.
