Sweet. Take your time. Next 2 days I'll be at the funeral home.
I have your bow pulled to 23 inches thus far.

I hope so Zradix - this is my first time using clear glass.

Will do Roy.  Same with you - take your time - I am not in a hurry!
Wish you and your family the best this week.

Roy - it came out of the oven in one piece!  Didn't even need to use the hammer and chisel to get it out of the form.     ;)

Maybe get it cleaned up and overlays on this weekend.

Looks very nice, Mitch. Thanks..

Have yours pulled to 27 inches. 1 more inch for your 28 draw and 1 more inch to 29 for good measures.

Kenny sent the pink leather for the grip last week..   :)

Cool Roy!  I really like that tung oil.

I got the riser tip overlays glued on - should be able to get them shaped up this weekend.

:laughing:   Yep - I can wrap it up tight with that string a put a clamp on it.  Works good and keeps it in place until it cures!  String comes right off afterwards.
