Larry- You did an absolutely fantastic job on that bow.When I first looked at the before pictures I honestly didn't expect a "novice" to do such an outstanding job.I expected something much less original looking,more like something I would end up with if I attempted a re-fin.I was pleasantly surprised.Nice job!!

I am totally humbled by the wonderful comments above. Everything I have picked up on bow restoration has come from the very generous sharing of knowledge by other Tradgangers. I'm a long way from the resident Bow Dr's but certainly having a great deal of fun.

I got to paw that bow this past weekend, and unless he pointed them out, I couldn't find the small holes.

Larry did a fantastic job restoring the bow that it cannot be grasped from pictures.  The bow looks like a new bow should.

Thanks Sal
Chamberlin was the BEST as usual. Vince and Kathy do a great job and put on a first class shoot. That road was a bit much with all the rain though! lol
See you at Canejo in a few weeks.......
