Yeah,  some nice wood there.

I used sanding sealer on the wood and it'll get one more once over with 320 before the VHT goes on.   Should ship  by Thursday.

Update,

Been a uphill battle but by the grace of God, my wife is turning the corner.

With that I am honoring my commitments, and have been back at getting this bow DONE.....

Have some lipstick and fine tuning and a finish,,, at out she goes!!

Thats some nice work there.   

Glad your wife is getting better.   A friend had pneumonia and was hospitalized.  Then he caught covid in the hospital.   :o

First actual group out of the swap bow.  Arrows are not a perfect match but they worked.   Now a new string.

Check out the beauty that showed up at my door today..... (don't tell the wife). This thing is fantastic, I can't wait to get some time to put some arrows through it.
