I just wanted to update you on my quest for the perfect shipping container for my one piece recurves. It turns out Fedex makes a triangle tube similar to the one Gar was referring to. The only problem was it was a little too tight and much too short for my 66" and 58" recurves. So I went over to an office furniture shop and picked up several 3'x6' scrap cardboard. Using the Fedex tube as a pattern guide, I creased the sheets of cardboard lengthwise in four equal sections, bent it at the creases into a triangle configuration and glued the two outside sections together with some Elmers glue. Now I have a very strong triangle tube that will allow me to bubble wrap the riser and tips and pack lots of newspaper or peanuts all around it. I'll just cap the ends with two triangular scraps of cardboard that I'll glue up and tape. I just wanted to update you on my attempt to get these awkward items properly shipped. I appreciate all your comments and help with this matter.
