Congrats, Bernie and Rose (and especially Onesty!). Life just keeps getting sweeter! Here is a prayer for all things to go smoothly and that your newest great grandchild be strong and healthy. I hope you get to teach him all manner of things!  :thumbsup:  

There is still an estrogenial majority, though, so you'll haveta keep putting the seat back down.  :p

All right-eeee then, gonna show y'all the final pics (if you care to see them, after all this).
To recap - it is my first, and a Hickory Backed Massarandruba (Beefwood, Bulletwood) lb, with Brazilian Cherrywood handle, and Bloodwood tip overlays. It's name is "Ol' HB". I am still trying to decide whether to apply a leather, or wrapped cord, handle wrap on it (so I guess it isn't really finished    ;)    ). I cut and applied a Sealskin rug, and used a Bear arrow pass pad. It is 67" ntn, 40# @ 27" and a sweet, smooth shooter. I finished it with a number of coats of MinWax Polyurethane in Satin (for less glare) and a final coat of Johnson's paste wax. I haven't really learned the best way/place to get pics of the bow, so forgive the cut off ends (I need to be a little taller, or set a milk crate on the picnic table to climb up on too -    :D    ):

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for being patient, and for looking. (Thanks, Mike Brooks.)

Thank you all. Yep, I really owe a lot to Mike - he's a good bowyer and a good friend. He and I have been talking about "next" and discussed a couple or three things but I haven't made a final decision yet - soon though.
