Finally completed my bow makeover. I've loved the way this bow shot since the day I received it. I knew I'd be hanging onto it most likely indefinitely so I thought I'd spruce it up a little. I'm happy it's finished and thought I'd share a few pics.
How I got it:
Added some skins soon after:

I gotta say that I would not have been able to do any of this without the help of this forum's members. So to that I say a big THANK YOU!
A little over three years ago, when I joined this site. In that time, I've learned so much from the members here. How to cut/fletch/build arrows, tune bows and arrows, foot carbons, add snakeskins and refinish a bow, make flemish twist strings, tying in nock points, and installing grips. Maybe someday I'll spend more time in the bowyer's bench section and learn how to build my own bow.
