Happy 10000 post, you long winded, opinionated old fart. Keep em coming.

Kelly, thanks for all the work you do on this swap and for the country.

10,000 posts proves Roy is retired.

Kelly, thank you for your service to our nation. We really need heros like you that will still stand up for the National Anthem .

Thanks again!    

I used to like you, (I think)

Unfortunately job is only a problem 12 or 14 hours of the day. the other is I am living in my RV at this location and I don't have internet when I get off. So it is all done on here. So I am going to make sure I get on at least at lunch Mon-fri weekends I don't plan on coming in.

PZee did your bow make it to ya? I heard that it had or did I just miss the post?

What he said, on both counts!

Oh, and the not only has this bow not broken, it's a lot of fun to shoot! I really like this bow, and will be sorry to see it go. If the recipient finds it subpar or not his style, I'll be happy to pay return shipping.

That said, I did stop shooting it and got it sprayed this weekend. Finish came out fairly well, the flow enhancer and a bit more air pressure was the ticket. I do need to come up with a way to make a small dust free paint booth though, life would be easier. Some day I'm going spray the perfect final coat on a bow. (While I got closer, it just wasn't yesterday.)

I'll get a wrap and string on it this week and get it in the mail no later than Monday, maybe even before the weekend.

Some teaser pictures between coats (before the pressure was turned up a little more):

Sure is purty!  What is the handle wrap made from, looks quite different?

[Roy from Pa]

David, that is awesome dude...

[SportHunter]

Very striking bow, the green glass and osage are perfect together.

[canopyboy]

No wrap yet Dan. That's the fiberglass and carbon socket. It'll have a leather wrap when all is said and done that should hide it.

[wood carver 2]

She's a beauty Dave! And she'll only get prettier as the osage darkens.
Dave.

[Dan Landis]

I thought it might have been rawhide or something similar, don't look too bad the way it is.  I'm sure a handle wrap will make it look even better.

[iohkus]

Nice bow Dave! That finish looks legit.
