Dave's on a roll.

I got another email with photo attachment.

I think labor pains have started and birth is closer.

Tillered out to 49 @ 28.

Got my fingers crossed I'll get it before my mid-March Hog Heaven trip.

That's neat to be able to follow the progress of a new bow. I'm anxious for you. Can't wait to see more pics.

Dave is unbelievable. He's really on a roll.

First of about 12 coats of finish being applied.

Cool video!

Ric O'Shay · « **Reply #38 on:** February 26, 2012, 09:16:00 PM »

Good video. Looks like a few years have past since it was made.

Bud B. · « **Reply #39 on:** February 27, 2012, 08:48:00 PM »

Got another email with pics from Dave.

The final rub down.

Hands of the craftsman putting on the leather handle wrap.

Looks like the wait will be significantly shorter now

I think Dave's trying to torture me (not intentionally I hope) by sending a peek of the bow.

I'll be anxiously waiting for his next photos.
