Mike- Very nice job.I generally don't like the thought of a re-finished Bear classic like a 1960 Kodiak,BUT,when a bow is in the condition that you said this one was in before the transformation,I think it is well deserved.You brought that bow back to life and did a fantastic job.My hat's off to you.

Great job Mike.....and I notice that it is a lefty!  It would be good to see you walking the courses of the shoots next summer carrying that 60!!!!

Merry Christmas to you and Sue.

Thanks again everyone for the kind words. I made a string for this bow and set it up. This was the first time shooting a '60 Kodiak... WOW! this baby is a keeper for sure.

Mike, Great! Very special when you take something that was on its way out and you gave it new life... Talk about Extreme MakeOver!! That bow is soooo good looking. Congradulations.

Glad you decided to make it a "keeper".  We'll have a '60 Kodiak contest at one of the shoots this year!
