All finished up! 64" ntn 53#@28" Thank you Kenny for all your help. Ill be ordering from you again soon! I am used to straight limbed self bows and wood arrows, so i was blown away at how fast and forgiving this bow is to shoot. My effective hunting range seems to have extended 10 yards! Anyway here are some pics.

How do I edit the title of my thread to say bow finished like I have seen some of you guys do?

Awesome looking job on the first one!  I'm sure it won't be the last!  You came really close to hitting your target weight also, good for you.

So, what finish did you end up going with?  Did you use the VHT?

Thanks guys! I ended up using spar urethane because I thought a slight yellowing effect would actually look good on this combo.

Thank you everybody! I have been shooting it for a few weeks now and I love it! I just placed another order to Kenny. Next on the list is a 62" off the same form. All you guys with this addiction, you gotta watch that guy! He is like a crack dealer!   :biglaugh:
