Thanks, guido, Ray, and Charlie.

OK, Charlie, but you know how my memory is - or isn't - LOL.

Being Hickory, after careful thought, I decided I am going to drop most of the "dressing" on this one and just Poly-pro it. Yep, Hannah is going "Au Natural"  (with a couple small "tatoos", I couldn't resist). At least for now, anyway.

Didn't you mean "retarded" Marine, Dano?

Not yet, Bernie.  I may get into laminated bows, though.  Gotta find time between running after this 3 yr. old!

Oh, lordy, now we're in trouble - Dano is being nice -   :D  

As I told someone who asked if Hannah wasn't dressed yet, she has taken her "shower" but the "sign" on the "can" says it will take her quite a while to dry off. Maybe next week some time pics will be forthcoming.

Hush yo' mouf, now, Jeff -    ;)   Rose is way too well aware of my "affairs" with my bows, anyway -    :p

Hannah gets pretty darned close to her final "assesories" today, if all goes well.

Yep, "It" and I will be as careful & safe as we can, and Mike will be not very far away, in another tree. He can't quite see me but he'll be able to hear me if I bellow, or blow my whistle. Gonna be terrible hot and it's almost full moon - but we'll try anyway.

Got Hannah's (possible) last coat on her (maybe one more) and all else is done except a handle wrap application - should have pics by early next week.   :jumper:

I put a couple of coats of wax on Hannah Holmi (over the Polypro finish), and a black leather handle wrap (for now at least, I am using the top of the handle wrap as the arrow pass, and shooting off my hand - and she is performing well that way). So, here are a string of compleated (finally) pics for your consideration.

After a little more sanding, more "shooting in", getting brace height and nock point finalized, etc. Hannah came out 40# @ 26" , 66" ntn


Back:

   

Close up of Back, with name/logo:

   

Side view (there is an "arrow" like that on both sides):

   

At Brace - standing and on ground:
